Ingredients

  • 1 cup Milk
  • 0.5 cup Butter
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups Tapioca flour
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, butter, and salt. Stir occasionally until the butter has melted completely.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the tapioca flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined and a dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly, for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with an electric mixer after each addition. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.

Step 6

Add the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder, and mix until evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese puffs are golden brown and puffed.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
