Where to find ingredients
The most important ingredient here is the sour cassava flour, often labeled as 'polvilho doce' or 'tapioca starch' (specifically the 'sour' variety for better texture) found in Latin American specialty markets or the international aisle of well-stocked supermarkets. For the cheese, a sharp, finely grated Parmesan works best to mimic the traditional flavor; it is widely available in any dairy aisle. The oil, milk, eggs, and salt are standard pantry staples available at any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Add the oil, milk, eggs, sour cassava flour, grated cheese, and salt into a blender

- Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature
- Pour the batter evenly into small muffin tins or individual molds
