Ingredients
240 ml milk
240 ml vegetable oil
3 whole eggs
720 ml sweet cassava starch
100 g grated cheese
240 ml vegetable oil
3 whole eggs
720 ml sweet cassava starch
100 g grated cheese
Where to find ingredients
You can find sweet cassava starch (polvilho doce) at Asian or South American speciality grocers. Any mild, hard-grated cheese like parmesan works as a substitute for traditional Brazilian cheese varieties.
Preparation method
- Bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan and leave it to cool until lukewarm
- Add the eggs, oil and lukewarm milk to a blender
- Gradually add the sweet cassava starch to the liquid mixture
- Blend everything until the batter is smooth and well combined
- Add the grated cheese to the batter in the blender
- Pulse briefly just to incorporate the cheese into the mixture without breaking it down completely
- Pour the batter into small greased moulds or muffin tins
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown
Observations
Pão de queijo is a staple of Brazilian cuisine that brings comfort to any table. This blender version is ideal for those who value convenience without sacrificing the characteristic soft, chewy centre and golden crust. The key is to blend the ingredients thoroughly to achieve a uniform batter before baking. Serve them warm to fully enjoy the flavour and the perfect consistency of the melted cheese.
