I don't know how reliable allrecipes is because I've never used it, but I thought of sharing a bit of my local cuisine!

Brazilian Cheese Bread (AKA ''Pão de Queijo'')

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup olive oil or butter

- 1/3 cup water

- 1/3 cup milk or soy milk

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 2 cups tapioca flour

- 2 teaspoons minced garlic

- 2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

- 2 beaten eggs

Directions

1 - Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2 - Pour olive oil, water, milk, and salt into a large saucepan, and place over high heat. When the mixture comes to a boil, remove from heat immediately, and stir in tapioca flour and garlic until smooth. Set aside to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

3 - Stir the cheese and egg into the tapioca mixture until well combined, the mixture will be chunky like cottage cheese. Drop rounded, 1/4 cup-sized balls of the mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet.

4 - Bake in preheated oven until the tops are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
