125 gram sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg

Cream butter, egg and sugar together. Mix well until light and sugar is dissolved
Add vanilla, stir
Slowly add tapioca until you can make a ball that is not to sticky.
Chill dough
Make small balls of the dough and press on baking plate with a fork.

Baking powder I believe.

nuh uh, it's gotta be black pepper. there's no need for baking powder in pao de queijo, and 2 tablespoons would turn it into a science experiment

Can you use arrowroot in place of the tapioca with good results, do you know? Thanks!

My guess is yes since they all sub 1:1 for cornstarch. My guess is tapioca starch, potato starch, arrowroot starch and cornstarch could all be used. I always use them all interchangeably (except cornstarch of course ).

However, there is only one way to find out - make 'em!

My hubby is from the Dominican Republic and they eat a traditional bread made from yuca flour(tapioca) called pan de yuca. Google it, it's so yummy and chewy and easy to make.
