This savory little snack is a perfect appetizer or party food. I'm borrowing this recipe from my Brazilian friend Crislei who is so kind enough to share this foolproof recipe. Ingredients:
1/4 cup canola oil |
1/4 cup water |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup tapioca starch |
1 egg |
1/3 cup plain yogurt |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. Combine the canola oil, water, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Place the tapioca starch in a metal bowl; pour the oil and water mixture over the tapioca; mix thoroughly. Beat in the egg. Stir in the yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Pour the mixture into mini-muffin tins.
3. Place on middle rack of the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until slightly golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
