Where to find ingredients
You can find these items at local supermarkets or grocery stores in the dairy, baking, and canned goods aisles. For the cheese, if specific Brazilian types are unavailable, any mild, high-melt semi-firm cheese can serve as a substitute for Minas or Prato.
Preparation method
- Start by combining the two types of cheese, eggs, black pepper, and table cream in a mixing bowl, stirring everything together thoroughly.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking powder, incorporating them until the mixture reaches the consistency of a malleable dough.
- Form small spheres using two teaspoons to help shape them.
- Fry the balls in hot oil until they are well-browned and crispy.
Observations
This recipe is an ideal choice for finger food at gatherings or a quick snack at home. The secret lies in blending the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, pliable dough that is easy to shape and fries up perfectly golden and crisp.
