Ingredients and Steps

Big text, no distractions — for the stove

Ingredients

  • Tapioca starch
  • Cheese
  • Milk
  • Eggs
  • Vegetable oil
  • Salt

Steps

  1. 1Heat milk, oil, and salt together in a saucepan until it just comes to a boil.
  2. 2Pour the hot liquid over tapioca starch in a large bowl, stirring immediately and vigorously until it forms a sticky, slightly lumpy dough.
  3. 3Let the dough cool for about 10 minutes, until it is just warm enough to handle.
  4. 4Knead in the eggs one at a time, working each one in fully before adding the next.
  5. 5Add a generous amount of grated cheese and knead until the dough turns smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
  6. 6Roll the dough into small balls using lightly oiled hands and arrange them on a baking sheet with space between each.
  7. 7Bake in a hot oven for about 20 minutes, until the rolls puff up and turn golden on the outside.
  8. 8Serve warm, when the inside is at its chewiest and cheesiest.
