Pão de queijo - Sonia's Brazilian cheese rolls
by Lyn G » Thu May 01, 2008 9:52 am
“Pão de queijo” is typical Brazilian and it’s a delicious snack, which can be found at every “lanchonete” in Brazil.
Ingredients:
1 cup of water
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of oil
1 teaspoon of salt
1 pack of tapioca starch (450 g)
2 to 3 eggs
200 g of grated parmesan cheese
Preparation:
1. Bring to boil in a big pan the water, the milk, the oil and the salt.
2. Remove the pan from the heat and add the tapioca starch. Mix well with a wooden spoon and let it cool down.
3. Put the mixture in a bowl, add the eggs and knead well.
4. Add the grated cheese and keep kneading until the dough is smooth.
5. Roll 1 tablespoon of mixture into small balls. Tip: Grease your hands with oil before making the balls. Wash your hands once in a while if necessary.
6. Place the balls on a baking tray greased with oil or lined with baking paper.
7. Bake the cheese rolls in hot oven (350 degrees) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Put the cheese rolls in a basket and serve them warm.
This recipe makes about 70 small cheese rolls.
Tapioca starch can be found in Asian grocery stores. It comes in a clear plastic bag and the standard pack has 450 grams.
Brazilians usually knead the dough by hand. It’s really hard work. I prefer to use a mixer to knead the dough.
“Pão de queijo” can be served as an appetizer or snack.
“Pão de queijo” can be frozen and baked directly from the freezer. Tip: Place the cheese rolls on a tray lined with baking paper. Put the tray in the freezer. When the cheese rolls are frozen, put them in a plastic bag and put them back in the freezer.
You can find "pão de queijo" mix (Yoki) in Brazilian supermarkets. It's very practical and convenient for those people who don't have time or don't like cooking.
"Pão de queijo" is gluten-free
