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:
- 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.
- Gradually incorporate tapioca flour, mixing well after each addition.
- Fold in your desired cheese. The dough should resemble thick pancake batter.

- 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.
- Remove from the ice tray and place them in a tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before enjoying these cheesy treats.
- Freeze the rest of the pao que quejio in a ziploc bag for future
Enjoy, friends!
