Ingredients:
- 2 cups tapioca flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, because who doesn’t want extra cheese?)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners for extra cuteness.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, oil, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once it boils, remove it from the heat and immediately add the tapioca flour. Stir well until the flour is fully incorporated and the consistency is smooth and elastic. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, fold in the Parmesan cheese and optional mozzarella until evenly distributed. The dough should be light and fluffy!
- Spoon the dough into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the aroma fills your kitchen—seriously, good luck resisting!
- Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes before you pop them out of the tin. Serve warm and watch them disappear!
