Who can resist a delicious pão de queijo waffle? Today we’re sharing a quick and irresistible recipe, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. We’re sure you’re going to fall in love with this treat!
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup sour cassava flour (polvilho azedo)
- 3 oz (approx. 80g) shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
- 5 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
How to make Pão de Queijo Waffles:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, milk, and salt. Whisk well.
- Add the sour cassava flour and stir until you have a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Fold in the shredded mozzarella (or Monterey Jack) and Parmesan cheese. If you prefer, you can adjust the cheese ratios; just remember to reduce the salt if you use extra Parmesan.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes; it will thicken as the cassava flour hydrates.
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with a thin layer of butter.
- Pour about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of batter onto the iron and close the lid.
- Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown to your liking.
- Use silicone utensils to remove the waffles to avoid scratching the non-stick coating. Enjoy!
Pro Tip:
These waffles turn out deliciously crispy! You can choose to cook them until deep golden brown or keep them lighter, depending on your preference.
