Equipment

Mini muffin tin

Ingredients

2 large eggs
1 cup (240ml) whole milk
¼ cup (62.5ml) vegetable oil
¼ cup (56.75g) unsalted butter
2 cups (250g) tapioca flour
1 teaspoon (5g) salt , plus more for topping, if desired
¾ cups (75g) freshly grated parmesan cheese , plus more for topping, if desired.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Spray the inside of a mini-muffin tin with cooking spray. Set aside.
Then add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, melted butter, salt, flour and cheese into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and thick.
Using a spatula scrape sides of the blender. Pulse for a few seconds. The dough is supposed to be soft and slightly runny.
Remove and pour into prepared muffin tin pan.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden. Remove from the oven - as you do the puffs would deflate - don’t be alarmed.
Let the bread cool for a few minutes before removing from muffin pan. Serve warm.

Notes

You can buy tapioca flour at Whole Foods, Kroger, or at any big grocery store. Bob's Red Mill carries one.
