tapioca flour

Tapioca flour is essential for texture.

In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of tapioca flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add 5 ounces of grated Parmesan cheese and mix with your hands to avoid mess.

In a separate bowl, measure out 3/4 cup of vegetable oil and 1 cup of milk, adding the milk gradually to avoid making the mixture too liquid.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough forms, adjusting the milk as needed to ensure the dough is not too sticky.

Roll the dough into small balls, making sure they are not too big unless intended for a meal.

Prepare to bake the dough balls, ensuring they are the right size for snacks.
