Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups tapioca flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup cheddar finely shredded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan, add the milk, oil and salt and heat until the milk is hot but is not yet boiling. Remove from heat.
  • Add the tapioca flour to the saucepan and stir until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer and using the paddle attachment, beat until smooth (about 3 minutes).
  • Add the eggs 1 at a time and the cheeses and mix on low speed until incorporated. The dough will be sticky at this point.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon and scoop the dough into balls, placing them on the baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown.
