- 1 cup (160 grams) tapioca flour/starch
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup (2 oz.) water
- 1 large egg
- 10 oz. pkg queso fresco, crumbled
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Set aside a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients. I usually start mixing with a large spoon, but I find it works best to use my hands to incorporate the ingredients.
Using your hands, shape 12 pieces of dough into 2 inch diameter balls (slightly larger than a golf ball).
Bake at 425 degrees F for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.
