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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yuca flour and grated cheese. Mix well until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Stir in the egg, baking powder, and salt, mixing until a dough begins to form.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are puffed and golden brown on the bottom.
Step 8
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.
