Cost: $6.24
Ingredients
- 1 lb Tapioca Starch
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup vegetable oil + extra for rolling
- 4 eggs
- 6 oz Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a pot bring the salt, milk, and oil to a boil.
- Place the tapioca starch into a large bowl. Once the milk mixture is boiling, pour it into the starch bowl and mix well to combine. Let cool.
- While the mixture is cooling grate the cheese. Once cooled add the eggs, then the cheese. Knead the dough well, until all cheese is well combined.
- Coat hands thoroughly with oil. Roll the dough into tablespoon size balls, repeatedly coating your hands with oil so the dough doesn't stick to them or the pan.
- Place dough on parchment paper and freeze for later, or bake fresh. If baking fresh, bake for 20 minutes or until golden. If baking from frozen bake for 25 minutes for a hot gooey center.
