Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Yuca flour (also known as cassava or tapioca starch)
- 250 grams Grated queso fresco or feta cheese
- 60 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Milk (preferably whole milk)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yuca flour and grated cheese. Mix well until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
Add the softened butter to the bowl and use your hands or a spatula to incorporate it into the flour and cheese mixture until crumbly in texture.
Stir in the egg, baking powder, and salt, mixing until a dough begins to form.
Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, kneading the dough gently until it is smooth and cohesive. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold its shape.
Divide the dough into twelve equal portions and roll each portion into a ball, roughly the size of a golf ball. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are puffed and golden brown on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy your sugar-free Pan de Yuca with a cup of coffee or as a delightful snack.
