Pão de Queijo (Cheese Bread)
来源: 传统
Balls of fresh cheese and cassava starch dropped into warm oil and cooked slowly until they turn themselves over and go round and golden — the Christmas fritter, and savoury, not sweet.

食谱提供 Colombian home kitchens · 🏺 传统 · Six regions and six different larders — maize and cheese in the mountains, coconut and fish on the Caribbean coast, and a pot of soup on the stove almost everywhere.
Colombian · Christmas fritter — An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. The cited article is the pan-Hispanic one and confirms the fried dough ball form and the regional variations, including the Colombian cheese version eaten at Christmas. That the article covers many countries is stated rather than glossed over. Quantities, the 150°C instruction and the rolls-itself test are this book's own.

Mix the grated cheese, cassava starch, maize flour, sugar and baking powder, then work in the egg with your hands.
Knead 5 minutes until completely smooth. Add the milk only if it still cracks when you roll a ball.
💡 Smooth dough is everything. Any crack in the surface opens in the oil and the buñuelo bursts and drinks fat.
Roll into 18 balls, rolling each one for a good 30 seconds until the surface is glassy with no seams.
Heat the oil to 150°C — LOW. Lower in 4 or 5 balls at a time.
💡 150°C, not 180°C. Hot oil browns the outside in two minutes while the middle is still raw dough — the single most common buñuelo failure.
Cook 8 to 10 minutes. They will sink, rise, and then start rolling over by themselves — that is the sign they are cooking right.
Lift out when deep gold all over and drain on a rack. Eat warm, with natilla if it is December.
