When it comes to food, nothing is better than homecooked. My parents loved to cook when I was young. My dad always brought out the best cakes for birthdays and tasty meals on special occasions. I would always be excited seeing him in the kitchen being busy and doing ten things at once. I was never taught to cook from him, yet I felt inspired to just watch and enjoy eating the food instead. I always wondered if he had any recipes he would share eventually. After some digging and persistence, he shared with me his recipe for one of my favourite Brazilian street foods; pao de queijo.
Ingredients:
1 egg
⅓ cup olive oil
⅔ cup milk
1½ cups (170 grams) tapioca flour
½ cup grated parmesan cheese, you can use feta or another type of grated cheese if you prefer
1 teaspoon of salt
Method:
Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Grease a muffin tin, roll the mixture into little dough balls and place them into the tin.
Bake at 200C for 18-20 minutes.
These are best eaten warm and fresh from the oven.
