Check out the step-by-step guide to this irresistible version!
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons of margarine or butter
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 cups of cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder (Royal type)
- 1 cup of grated cheese
- Sweet cassava flour until it can be rolled (approximately 2 and a half cups)
Preparation method:
Start by beating the eggs in a bowl. If desired, remove the skin from the yolk to avoid the strong odor.
Add the sugar and mix well with a whisk. Add the margarine (or butter) and mix until combined.
Suggestion: If you prefer, you can add other flavors to the dough, such as vanilla , anise, orange or lemon zest, or even make lactose-free versions without cheese.
Then add the cornmeal and continue mixing. The batter will start to thicken.
Replace the whisk with a wooden spoon, as the dough starts to get heavier. Add the grated cheese and mix again. Add the yeast and mix well.
Gradually add the tapioca flour, stirring until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
When the dough is well mixed, it should be firm, like cookie dough.
Shape the balls with your hands or use a spoon to take portions of dough.
Roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture if you want a special touch and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased.
Remember to leave space between them, as they will rise as they bake.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 25 to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it, as baking time may vary depending on your oven.
Remove the balls when they’re golden brown, but don’t let them get too dark, as they won’t become tough. Let them cool slightly before serving.
The recipe makes about 30 medium-sized balls, perfect for an economical and delicious snack!
I hope you like the recipe and enjoy the practicality of this delicious treat!
