2 packs grated cheese (parmesan or a semi-hard salty cheese)

Where to find ingredients
Vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and salt are readily available at any local grocery store or supermarket in Guyana. Sweet cassava starch (polvilho doce) is the essential foundation for this recipe; you can find it at specialized Caribbean, Latin, or Asian markets often labeled as 'tapioca starch' or 'cassava flour'. If you cannot find the sweet version, do not substitute with regular wheat flour. For the cheese, a standard aged parmesan or any firm, salty grating cheese from your local butcher or supermarket dairy aisle works perfectly to provide that signature savory punch.
Preparation method
- Combine the oil, milk, eggs, sweet cassava starch, grated cheese, and salt in your blender
- Pulse and blend the mixture vigorously until the batter is completely smooth
- Preheat your oven to a medium temperature setting
- Pour the batter into small greased patty tins or muffin molds
- Arrange the tins on a large baking tray for easy handling
- Bake in the preheated oven until they turn golden and puffed
- Remove the breads from the tins while still warm and serve immediately
Observations
This simple, no-fuss recipe delivers soft and delicious cheese buns, whipped up in seconds using a blender. The batter is best baked in mini patty tins to ensure each piece comes out perfectly uniform and impossible to resist.
