Where to find ingredients
You can find the ingredients at any local supermarket. Look for the dairy and oil aisles; the sweet cassava starch (polvilho doce) is often located in the baking section or at specialty stores stocking Latin American products.
Preparation method
- Boil the milk in a saucepan and set aside until it reaches a lukewarm temperature
- Place the eggs, oil, and lukewarm milk into the blender
- Add the sweet cassava starch gradually to the liquid mixture
- Blend all ingredients in the blender until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous batter
- Add the grated cheese to the batter prepared in the blender
- Pulse briefly just to incorporate the cheese into the batter without fully grinding it
- Distribute the batter into small moulds or patty tins previously greased with a little oil
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 minutes or until they are well golden brown
Observations
Pão de queijo is an iconic Brazilian classic that is an essential part of any dining table. This blender-prepared version is perfect for those seeking convenience without compromising the soft interior texture or that golden-brown crust. The key lies in thoroughly blending the ingredients to ensure a smooth, uniform batter before baking. Serve them while hot to enjoy the best flavour and the ideal consistency of the melted cheese.
