Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup Mashed potato -- (about 1 large potato/ 1
1/2 med potatoes)
1 cup Cornstarch
2 tbsps Oil
25 g Butter -- soft, at room temp
1 Egg -- lightly beaten
1/2 tsp Salt -- (more or less depending on how salty
your cheeses are)
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Cheddar cheese -- a mildly sharp variety
would be preferable)
1/2 cup Crumbled paneer -- (an Indian milk cheese)
Freshly crushed pepper -- To taste, (optional)
Put the mashed potato, cornstarch, oil, butter, egg, and salt in the
bowl of the food processor (you can knead this by hand as well), and
run it on slow or medium until all the ingredients are blended well.
Now add the cheeses and the pepper and process till they're well incorporated.
Do not over process. You should have shaggy textured dough that is
just short of being sticky. Lightly dust your work surface and your
palms with a little cornstarch. Scrape out the dough on to the
surface and lightly knead until the dough comes together into a ball.
Divide the dough into 15 or 16 equal portions and shape each one into
a smooth ball about the size of golf balls. Place them on lightly
greased or parchment lined baking sheets. At this point, you can
freeze them on the sheet and then put them in Ziploc bags. Take out
as many as you want to bake and bake them straight from the freezer
at 350F/180C for about 25 to 30 minutes.
If you're baking them right away, then bake at 350F/180C for about 25
minutes or so until the Pao de Queijo is a light golden brown on top
and a deep golden brown on the bottom. If you over cook them they
will dry out inside.
Cool on a rack and serve warm like the Brazilians do with a hot cup
of coffee! Pao de Queijo are best eaten as soon as they're baked.
They can be warmed and served later too.
