Ingredients

  • 2 cups tapioca flour
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan, heat 3/4 cup milk and 3 tbsp butter over medium until butter melts and mixture is hot but not boiling, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, combine 2 cups tapioca flour and 1/2 tsp salt. Pour the hot milk mixture over the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.

  4. 4

    Let the dough cool for 5 minutes, then beat in 1 egg and 1/2 cup parmesan until fully incorporated. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.

  5. 5

    Scoop dough into 12 mounds onto the prepared sheet. Bake until puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Whisk 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 2 tbsp milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cheese breads. Let set for 5 minutes before serving.
