My Pão de Queijo Obsession

My pao de quejio obsession had visiting a nearby cafe three times a week. Delicious, yes, but not exactly sustainable. Thankfully, I discovered I can make them at home and it’s quite simple!

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups tapioca flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • Salt
  • Cheese: Go by your heart, but traditionally, ¾ to 1 cup works well.

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, oil, and butter. Add salt, as much as your heart desires. Important to note: if you are using a salty cheese, then add less salt.
  2. Gradually incorporate tapioca flour, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Fold in your desired cheese. The dough should resemble thick pancake batter.

  1. Pour the batter into an ice tray (silicone so it’s flexible and easy to take them out) or a muffin tray and freeze overnight.
  2. Remove from the ice tray and place them in a tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. Let cool slightly before enjoying these cheesy treats.
  5. Freeze the rest of the pao que quejio in a ziploc bag for future

Enjoy, friends!
