Pão de queijo

 
Posted by Picasa


Brazil is famous for its pão de queijo – Savory little cheese rolls with soft chewy centers. Pão de queijo is made with cassava flour (tapioca flour) which gives them an interesting taste and texture and makes them a gluten-free treat – an excellent choice for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
They have a wonderful smell when they are being baking, and they plump up into perfect round balls.
Many recipes call for parmesan, but if you can find the Brazilian cheese queijo minas in your local Brazilian market, your pão de queijo will be even more authentic.
Pão de queijo are sexy Brazilian party food or it can be served as an appetizer or snack. It is absolutely delicious with coffee or tea! Pão de queijo can be frozen and baked directly from the freezer, but it taste better to eaten straight out of the oven.
PRO : all the above
CON: You absolutely can’t have just one.
