Description

Now found throughout Brazil, these little, light fluffy buns originated from the southern region of Minas Gerais. Essentially “cheese bread”, the dough is a simple mix of cassava (tapioca) flour and soft cheese, usually the local queijo Minas. A great snack for any time of day, these are particularly popular at breakfast, served either warm as they are or split and stuffed with more cheese or spread with jam.
