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.
