Pão De Queijo
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (about 5 1/2 oz.) tapioca starch (polvilho azedo or almidon de yuca)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 1/4 ounces sharp white Cheddar cheese, finely grated (about 1/2 cup)
- Preheat oven to 450u0b0F. Bring milk, butter, and salt to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, quickly stir in tapioca starch until well incorporated. (Dough will be very dense and dry.) Transfer dough to a bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until dough has cooled slightly, about 1 minute. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in cheeses until combined.
- Using a lightly greased 1 1/4-inch (about 1 tablespoon) scoop, drop spoonfuls onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets, leaving 1 1/2 inches between each. Place baking sheets in oven, and reduce temperature to 350u0b0F. Bake until golden brown and puffed, 28 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
