Ingredients
240 ml milk
240 ml oil
3 whole eggs
720 ml sweet cassava starch
100 g grated cheese
240 ml oil
3 whole eggs
720 ml sweet cassava starch
100 g grated cheese
Where to find ingredients
Find milk, oil, eggs, and grated cheese at any local supermarket. Sweet cassava starch, also known as polvilho doce, is usually available in the baking or international aisle, or at specialty markets. For the cheese, a semi-hard cheese like a generic mild cheddar or gouda can be used as a substitute if traditional Brazilian cheeses are unavailable.
Preparation method
- Bring the milk to a boil in a small saucepan and set it aside until it reaches a lukewarm temperature
- Add the eggs, oil, and warm milk to the blender
- Gradually add the sweet cassava starch to the liquid mixture
- Blend all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous batter
- Add the grated cheese to the batter inside the blender
- Pulse briefly just to incorporate the cheese into the mixture without fully pulverizing it
- Pour the batter into small muffin or individual snack tins previously greased with a little oil
- Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for approximately 30 minutes or until they are well browned
Observations
Pão de queijo is a Brazilian staple that is essential for any gathering. This blender version is ideal for those who need convenience without sacrificing that signature soft interior and golden, crusty exterior. The secret is to blend the ingredients thoroughly to ensure a smooth batter before baking. Serve it warm to fully enjoy the flavor and the perfect consistency of the melted cheese.
