Ingredients

1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
100 g grated Parmesan cheese
3 cups tapioca starch (polvilho doce)
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
100 g grated Parmesan cheese
3 cups tapioca starch (polvilho doce)
Where to find ingredients
Milk, oil, eggs, salt, and butter are standard staples found in every local Fiji grocery store. For the Parmesan, look in the refrigerated dairy section; if you want a more authentic flavor, hard aged blocks are best. The most crucial ingredient is 'polvilho doce', which is fine tapioca starch; check the 'specialty' or 'international' aisles of major supermarkets or look for it in Asian and Indian grocery stores under the name 'tapioca flour' or 'tapioca starch'.
Preparation method
- Add the milk, oil, eggs, salt, grated cheese, and tapioca starch into your blender jar
- Blitz everything on high until the mixture is completely smooth and well-combined
- Get your mini muffin tins or individual small baking molds ready by greasing them lightly with butter or margarine
- Pour the batter into the molds, filling each one only about halfway to allow for rising
- Slide them into a preheated oven
- Bake until the little buns have puffed up and turned a beautiful, deep golden brown
Observations
This is the ultimate hack for whipping up a tasty, authentic Brazilian snack without any of the hard work. You get airy little buns with a perfectly soft, chewy middle and that signature golden, crispy crust every single time.
