Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cups water
- 1/4 cup corn oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups yucca flour (also known as tapioca or manioc starch)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Boil milk, water, oil and salt in a large pot. Turn off the heat.
Mix in the tapioca starch with a heavy spoon or spatula. Cook's Note: Do not use a whisk.
Mix quickly as the mixture will become very thick and sticky quickly. Mixing the batter will become increasingly difficult. Allow this mixture to cool for 10 minutes.
Add 2 eggs to the mixture, mixing it in well. Once thoroughly combined, mix in the Parmesan cheese.
Line a pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper. Knead the dough on a flat surface and roll small, 2-ounce balls of dough with your hands. Place each ball about 2-inches apart on parchment-lined pan and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Enjoy while hot. Alternately, the dough can be frozen for future use.
