Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 cups Tapioca Starch / Flour
  • 3 cups Shredded Mozzarella
  • 1 cup Crumbled Cojita Cheese
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 Stick of Butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Water*, see directions

Instructions
 

  • Mix together the tapioca flour, mozzarella, cojita, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Whisk the eggs together. Add to the bowl with melted butter, milk, and water. Mix together until a dough forms. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
  • Roll the dough into 30 balls and place them on a sheet pan. Try to keep them roughly the same size. Place them in the refrigerater for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400F. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes, or until brown specks form on top (that's the cheese!). Enjoy immediately; careful, they'll be hot!
