Who discovered this recipe first? Jen's family found it when one of the boys had to make a recipe for his Spanish class (I know, these are BRAZILIAN). Shane and Derek went to Brazil and got the authentic experience there. Several Westra households make these little rolls now. What's doubly nice about them, is that they are GLUTEN-FREE, which is a huge plus with Celiac persons around (although non-celiac people really like them too!)
They use Tapioca flour - it can be a little hard to find, but it's around. This recipe is so simple, it's really just a batter poured into mini-muffin tins.
Ingredients
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup tapioca flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan* cheese
Extra salt/cheese to sprinkle on top
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°. Place egg, milk and oil in blender and pulse. Add flour and salt and blend until smooth. Add cheese and pulse two times (don't overmix). Pour into mini-muffin tins (non-stick spray is recommended), about 3/4 full. Sprinkle a bit of cheese and salt on the tops. Bake for 15-ish minutes until puffy and golden. Serve warm.
*As Grandpa would say "par-a-me-ceim cheese" --- ewwwwww
