pão de queijo
tonight i made brazilian cheese rolls:
i used a yoki mix but you can also find recipes online to make them from scratch. here are the directions (the instructions are in portuguese): add 1/2 cup water, 2 eggs to the mix; bake for 40 min at 350 degrees. i normally add an additional 1/4 cup of shredded cheese mix (mozzarella, romano, asiago, parmesan work well) but didn ‘t have any tonight—i have to say, they taste much better with the extra cheese… also, i usually bake for less time—somewhere between 20-30 min so they are chewier and less dry.

in bolivia they’re called cuñapes
and in france they’re called something else
but try this recipe:
1cup yuca flour (from yuca the root)
1cup queso ranchero (white cheese comes in rounds)
1 egg
roll into small balls
indent with thumb on bottom before placing on ungreased pan
cook 20 min 350F
oh! even better, thank you for the recipe!
can’t go wrong with cheese and dough..
yummm! I was making these for a while last year with tapioca flour (the same as yucca or manioc) and parmesan cheese. I even had some pre-cooked dough balls frozen for future use. Yeah, they didn’t last very long. Must make more…
