Easy Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo) Recipe

Easy Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo) Recipe
Print Our tour of Brazil continues. After posting the moqueca recipe, several of you asked if I had a recipe for Pão de Queijo, or Brazilian cheese bread, sort of like a chewy cheese puff made with tapioca flour. As a matter of fact, I do. My friend Bill gave me this recipe years ago, a favorite from his Brazilian wife Silvia. I’ve made it several times, each time with different cheeses. There are several ways to make Pão de Queijo. The beauty of this recipe is that you can make a big batch of batter and just store it in the refrigerator (for up to a week), pouring out just as many mini-muffins as you want to eat. The only weird ingredient is tapioca flour. The recipe as presented is fairly basic. Ingredients Special equipment recommended: One or two mini muffin tins. *It helps when baking with eggs to start with eggs at room temperature. Method Hide Photos 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. 2 Put all of the ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. Eat while warm or save to reheat later.

Black Pepper Tofu Last week I got an awesome compliment comment on an old post. They said, “Funny how I get some of my favorite vegan recipes from a non-vegan… I can always count on you for full flavor!” It’s true that I’m not a vegan but I do end up making a lot of accidentally vegan things. I keep meaning to make a vegan category for the site. It’s on my lifetime to-do list. Easy Vegetable Pot Stickers Recipe During the past few weeks, I’ve been a mean cooking machine. From the amazing cake mix cookies to the incredibly popular Chicken Fajita Tacos, I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen and then sharing with all of you. If you’ve been visiting often, you know I’m not a natural in the kitchen. So, you can pretty much guarantee, that if I can pull off the recipe, you can pull off the recipe. If you have little people that don’t really like vegetables, this is a great way to sneak those in during lunch or dinner.

How to Make Focaccia Bread, Rosemary Focaccia Bread 1 Stir the yeast into the 1/3 cup of slightly warm-to-the-touch water and let it rest for 10 minutes. 2 In a large bowl, pour in 2 1/4 cups of tepid water and 2 tablespoons olive oil. After the yeast has rested for 10 minutes and has begun to froth, pour it into the water-oil mixture. Sourdough Bread Throughout my entire life as a cook, nothing has been so vexing as perfecting Sourdough Bread. Equally vexing was the breadth of time required in order to determine each effort’s degree of failure. Several batches required up to twenty hours of ‘resting’ time and, thus, it would be two days later that I discovered that sourdough nirvana remained out of reach. Other tricky foods, for example, soufflés, hot emulsions and clear jellies require no large investment of time in order to fail, and can, in fact, be quickly tossed out and a second endeavor completed before anyone lingering has blinked an eye.

No Bake Chocolate Cake Recipe I don't know about you, but I didn't accomplish much today. I slept in, halfheartedly ran a few errands, accumulated flowers wherever I went, and spent a good amount of time arranging poppies & peonies into a hodgepodge of mason jars and vases. Flowers aside, I dedicated ten minutes making this chocolate cake. It's the ultimate lazy chocolate dessert. And while I think of it as a no bake chocolate cake, you wouldn't be far off if you called it a slice-able truffle.

Date cake with milk sauce I love dates and I never tire of them; here in Beirut one finds in all the pastry shops (especially now during Ramadan) dates stuffed with all sorts of goodies and beautifully packaged for gift-giving. This cake is a great way to use leftover dates; you simply chop them up and cook them in a little bit of water (or orange juice) and purée them; then you incorporate the purée into the cake batter. 1 1/2 cups of dates ( 250 g.), already pitted1/3 cup of water2 tbsp of brown sugar2 tbsp of unsalted butter1 tsp of rose water1 cup of chopped walnuts1/2 cup of oil2 large eggs3/4 cup of sugar (brown or regular)1 tsp of vanilla1/2 tsp of cardamom (optional) or cinnamon2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour1 tsp of baking soda1 1/2 tsp of baking powderpinch of salt1 cup of sweetened condensed milk1 tbsp of date molasses or grape molasses or dark honey

Baking powder that is older than six months tends to be flat. So, mark your can with the date you bought it, and then replenish when it is over 6 months old. Ingredients 3 cups all purpose flour (400 g)3/4 cup sugar (160 g)1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon baking powder1/4 teaspoon salt3/4 cup candied ginger (chopped into 1/4-inch pieces or smaller) (3 1/2 ounces or 110 g)1 Tbsp lemon zest1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger3/4 cup buttermilk* (200 ml)10 Tbsp (5 ounces, 140 g) unsalted butter, melted1 Tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)
