A Brazilian snack or appetizer. Eat them cheesey and warm from the oven. They can be frozen and re-heated. I've had some purchased frozen cheese puffs, but they were very expensive. These are very easy to make and as a bonus they are gluten-free

SERVES 6 -8 , 20 -25 cheese puffs (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups tapioca starch
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
175 g grated cheese (6oz)

Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 190°C ( 375° F) and grease a baking sheet.
2
Sift the the tapioca starch into a large bowl. Set aside.
3
Combine the vegetable oil, water, and salt in a saucepan and heat until almost boiling. You can use the mcrowave for this step if you wish.
4
Pour the hot liquid into the bowl of tapioca starch. Mix and allow to stand for 10 minutes at room temperature Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or tea-towel.
5
Mix in the egg and cheese into the rested dough.
6
Roll the dough using your hands into balls and place on a baking sheet. 1 to 2 teaspoons makes a good sized cheese puff. Place the balls approx one inch apart on your baking tray.
7
Bake 20-25 minutes, until the tops of the balls begin to turn brown.
8
Eat warm from the oven or cool and freeze to be reheated later.
