How to Make Pão de Queijo (Gluten Free!)

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

Combine 5 cups of milk, 2.5 cups of neutral oil, and 7.5 tbsp of salt in a pot and bring to a simmer.

Once the liquid starts to simmer, whisk it and pour it over the tapioca flour without mixing.

Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, use a KitchenAid with the paddle attachment to mix for 10 minutes.

Add 10 whisked eggs to the mixture.

Spray 2 oz aluminum cups with vegetable oil and fill them about halfway with the mixture.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F until golden brown for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Increase the oven temperature to 475°F and bake for an additional 2 minutes for color and crust.

Unmold the Pão de Queijo from the aluminum cups and dust with scallion powder.
