Ingredients
- 250 grams yuca flour (tapioca flour)
- 200 grams shredded cheese (preferably queso fresco or mozzarella)
- 2 large eggs
- 50 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yuca flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and mix in the melted butter and heavy cream until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously using a spatula or your hands until a dough begins to form. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6
Divide the dough into golf ball-sized pieces, rolling them gently between your palms to form smooth balls.
Step 7
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each to allow for slight expansion during baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the pan de yuca to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy as a snack or a side dish!
