Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup Olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups tapioca flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups Parmesan cheese, finely grated

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a saucepan, over medium heat, mix together milk, salt and olive oil. Remove from heat when bubbles start appearing.
  • Stir in the tapioca flour and whisk thoroughly. Using a mixer with a paddle attachment beat the dough for few minutes at medium speed.
  • In a small bowl, beat the eggs and add them to the dough. Mix well with the mixer at medium speed.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese and mix again with the mixer at medium speed. The dough will be sticky, don't worry, it should be like that.
  • Now scoop the dough with a tablespoon or an ice cream scoop, form it a little bit into balls and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. I made the heaping tablespoon sized portions. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until they have puffed. Enjoy!
