Pão de Queijo Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour and salt. In a saucepan, heat the milk and vegetable oil until just boiling. Remove from heat and pour the hot mixture over the tapioca flour. Stir well until combined.
Add Eggs and Cheese
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the grated cheese until fully incorporated.
Shape the Dough
Using your hands, shape the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and puffed.
Serve
Remove from the oven and serve warm, ideally while they are still puffy and cheesy.
