Brazilian Pão de Queijo Waffles
Brazilian Pao de Queijo Waffles
Brazil's iconic chewy, cheesy pão de queijo (cassava flour and cheese balls) batter cooked in a waffle iron to produce crispy outside, mochi-like chewy and stretchy inside waffles. Intensely cheesy, gluten-free and deeply satisfying. Viral for the cheese pull moment.

Ingredients
Method
Bring milk and oil to a simmer. Pour over the tapioca starch while stirring — the starch will absorb the liquid and form a sticky dough.
About 5 min
Allow to cool 5 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time until smooth. Mix in cheese and salt. The batter will be thick and glossy.
About 14 min
Preheat waffle iron and grease well. Pour batter (it is much thicker than regular waffle batter — this is correct).
About 14 min
Cook 4–5 minutes until the exterior is golden and crispy. Do not open early — the steam is needed for the chewy interior.
About 14 min
Pull apart immediately to reveal the stretchy cheese pull. Eat hot — as they cool the chewiness changes. Serve with extra parmesan or chilli sauce.
