i love these cheese puffs. they are really wonderful with drinks and gluten free to boot - something i can offer a coeliac friend so they don't feel left out like they normally do. however, i've found that everyone i've offered them to loves them. i even made them when i went to london, and now my friend there can't stop eating them (or making them either). they are really cheesey and have a great chewy texture. tapioca flour is easily obtainable from asian grocery stores and the other items are pantry staples.
Ingredients:
4 cups tapioca flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups grated tasty cheese
2 eggs

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees C/400 degrees F.
2. Bring the milk, salt and butter to a boil.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Pour onto the tapioca flour, stirring constantly until thoroughly mixed.
5. Add the cheese and eggs.
6. Knead until smooth.
7. Roll into balls approximately 2-inches in diameter and place on a greased baking sheet.
8. Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
9. Do not over bake.
10. Serve warm.
11. Should there be any left overs, they freeze very well.
