Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups tapioca flour (500g) or 2 1/4 cups tapioca starch (500g)
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup butter (200g)
  • 2 teaspoons salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 lb parmesan cheese (grated, 250g)
  • 1/2 lb green cheese (250g) or 1/2 lb mozzarella cheese (250g)
  • 1/2 1/2 lb goat cheese (250g, chopped into small squares) or 1/2 lb any other hard cheese (250g, chopped into small squares)

Method

  • Put the tapioca in a big bowl (it is quite thin so it can make a mess), along with coldish butter (chopped roughly), the mozzarella or any semi-soft cheese (also roughly cut to make the process easier), the grated parmesan cheese, and the eggs.
  • Start mixing the ingredients by hand until the dough is somewhat formed.
  • Add the hard cheese cut into small squares to the dough and keep kneading until you have a homogeneous dough (with the exception of the hard cheese squares, which aren t supposed to blend in).
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes or so. This step can be skipped if in a hurry and they ll still come out great.
  • Take small pieces of dough and form little balls with it.
  • Cook in a 400°F oven for around 15 mins, checking every 5 mins or so. The result should be crunchy outside and softer inside.
