Pão De Queijo Recipe

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.

Heat Milk and Oil

In a saucepan, combine the milk and vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat until just boiling, then remove from heat.

Add to Dry Mixture

Pour the hot milk and oil mixture into the bowl with the tapioca flour and salt. Stir until well combined.

Incorporate Eggs

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.

Mix in Cheese

Add the grated Parmesan and mozzarella cheese to the dough. Mix until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Shape the Dough

Using your hands, take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

Arrange on Baking Sheet

Place the cheese balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.

Bake the Pão de Queijo

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

Cool and Serve

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
