Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups tapioca starch (yuca starch)
- 1.5 cups freshly grated queso fresco (or farmer's cheese)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tapioca starch, grated queso fresco, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg until frothy and then mix in the milk and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. It should be smooth and slightly sticky.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the balls about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the breads are puffed and lightly golden on top.
Remove the Pan de Yuca from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm.
