Combine 400 g of fécula de mandioca with 8 g of salt and 5 g of polvo de hornear in a mixing bowl.

Add 100 g of harina de maíz to the dry ingredients and mix well.

In the center of the dry mixture, add 100 g of grasa de cerdo and 3 eggs, breaking the eggs slightly while mixing.

Add juice from an orange as needed to the mixture and continue mixing until combined.

Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead until it reaches a good consistency.

Shape the dough into small balls or discs, making a small indentation in the center for the filling.

Fill the indentation with cheese mozzarella and close the dough around it, ensuring the cheese is sealed inside.

Prepare a baking sheet, optionally lining it with a banana leaf or greasing it lightly, and place the filled dough on it.

Preheat the oven before placing the baking sheet inside to bake.

Bake until golden brown, checking for doneness visually.
