Pão de Queijo

Method

Preheat the oven to 190C and grease a muffin tin generously. Heat the milk and oil together until steaming, then pour this mixture into a food processor with the tapioca starch, salt and pepper, blending until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition, then fold in the grated cheese until fully combined. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pão de queijo are puffed, golden and slightly crispy on the outside but still soft within. Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly before serving warm, as they are best eaten fresh from the oven.
