Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams yuca flour (tapioca flour)
- 200 grams shredded cheese (preferably queso fresco or mozzarella)
- 2 large eggs
- 50 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yuca flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and mix in the melted butter and heavy cream until thoroughly combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously using a spatula or your hands until a dough begins to form. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.
Fold in the shredded cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough into golf ball-sized pieces, rolling them gently between your palms to form smooth balls.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each to allow for slight expansion during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the pan de yuca to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy as a snack or a side dish!
