Where to find ingredients
You can find manioc starch (polvilho doce) at local markets or specialty Latin grocery stores in the flour or baking aisle. For the grated cheese, a sharp hard cheese works best as a substitute if the traditional type is unavailable.
Preparation method
- Place the oil, milk, eggs, manioc starch, grated cheese, and salt into a blender.
- Pulse and blend the mixture vigorously until completely smooth and homogeneous.
- Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature.
- Pour the batter into small greased tins.
- Arrange the tins neatly inside a large baking sheet.
- Bake until the tops are golden brown.
- Unmold the bites while still warm to serve.
Observations
This practical method yields soft and flavorful cheese bites, whipped up in moments using a blender. The smooth batter is best baked in small molds, ensuring a uniform, golden finish that is simply irresistible.
