Brazilian Cheese Balls (pão De Queijo) 5

By Rumblingtummy @RumblingTummi
Years ago, I was totally crazy about Brazilian Cheese Balls (pão de queijo).  A group of us in a baking interest group was trying to replicate those that sold in a bakery in Shaw House.   

After an exhibition, I realised that they are baked using a premix.  Of course I was disappointed as I never was able to match that texture.Nevertheless, I am not into premix so I rather short change a little to have a healthier version.Thanks TT for sharing the source.

Findings: Since I have arrowroot flour on hand, I decided to use that instead of tapioca flour.
These did not deflat quickly.  It did sustain its shape even after I finished washing up.
The taste is good and I strongly recommend using hard cheese for this recipe.
Definitely a keeper.
