Ingredients
Method
- Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line a tray with baking paper.
- Bring the milk, water, oil and salt to the boil. Pour over the tapioca flour and stir until it forms a sticky dough. Cool for 10 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the cheese, until smooth and stretchy.
- With oiled hands, roll into walnut-sized balls and space them on the tray.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden. Eat warm.
Cook's tip: Freeze the shaped balls and bake straight from frozen, adding 5 minutes.
