Hey there, I know I have been far from my blog since I have started it. You know , life is so busy and everyday I have something new to learn and something different to do. That’s my life is US! Last time I wrote here I promissed you I was going to show how to make pão de queijo. So let’s start it. I hope you like….it’s delicious!!!
As I told you before, in Brazil, pão de queijo is a popular breakfast and frequently had as snack. Made of tapioca starch, a lot of brazilian habiatually prepare the mix and make it at home rather than buying it, although pão de queijo is broadly sold at snack bars and bakeries. Additionally, cheese puff mix packages are easily found in most supermarkets in Brazil and here in Houston you can find it at Café Empório Brazilian Café (12288 Westheimer Rd., Suite 210). Some mainstream brands are ‘Yoki’ and ‘Hikari’.
Now, take note and make it by yourself:
1 cup water
1 cup milk
½ cup oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 pack tapioca starch
3 eggs
200 grams grated parmesan cheese
Steps
1. Bring to a boil in a big pan the water, the milk, the oil and the salt. Remove from the heat and add the tapioca starch, stirring with a wooden spoon. Let it cool down.
2. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the eggs anf knead well. Add the grated cheese and keep kneading until the dought is smooth.
3. Roll 1 tablespoon of the mixture into small balls. Place the balls on a baking tray greased with oil or lined with baking paper.
4. Bake the cheese rolls in hot oven (350 degrees) about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips: In step 3 grease your hands with oil before making the balls. Wash your hands once in a while if necessary. Serve warm with cream cheese or butter!
Bom apetite!!!!
