(about 20 medium units)
- 500 g manioc starch (may be replaced by corn startch, but results are inferior; potato starch gives a strong potato taste)
- 200 mL boiled water
- 200 mL milk
- 120 mL cooking oil
- 2 eggs
- 100 g salty hard grated cheese (meia-cura, parmesan, grana paddano)
- salt to taste
Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
Boil the water, milk and oil until they're well mix, then poor over the starch. Mix it as far as possible with a fork.
Add the eggs. Once the mixture is cool enough to touch, work in the cheese into the dough.
Make balls of the desired size and place them on a baking tray. Leave at least half a ball's size of space between them, as they will grow.
Bake for about 35'.
