Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Tapioca flour
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, butter, and salt. Stir occasionally until the butter has melted completely.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the tapioca flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined and a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly, for about 5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with an electric mixer after each addition. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder, and mix until evenly incorporated.
Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese puffs are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
