Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cassava (Yuca) flour
- 1 cup Queso fresco or farmer's cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, crumbled queso fresco, baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
Add the softened butter and egg to the dry mixture. Mix with your hands or a stand mixer until the dough begins to form clumps.
Gradually pour in the milk while continuing to mix until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be pliable and not too sticky.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the breads are puffed and golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy the pan de yuca warm as a delightful snack or paired with coffee or tea.
