I have not made this recipe, but after having been to Brazil a few times, and after having found this recipe in the Brazilian Children's Fund Cookbook (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), I had to add this to my recipes. I hope it turns out as good as those I've tried in Brazil! Ingredients:
2 cups sweet manioc starch or 2 cups sour manioc starch |
1 cup milk |
1/2 cup margarine (i prefer butter) |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese |
2 eggs |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Bring the milk, salt, and margarine to a boil.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Slowly add manioc starch, stirring constantly until thoroughly mixed.
5. Add the cheese and eggs.
6. Knead until smooth.
7. Form into balls approximately 2-inches in diameter and place on a greased baking sheet.
8. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
9. Bake until golden brown.
10. Eat while hot.
11. Makes 20 cheese puffs.
