Traditional Paraguayan Chipa

Ingredients

Cassava flour

2 cups

Grated cheese

1 cup, parmesan or similar

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Melted butter

1/2 cup

Eggs

2, large

Milk

1/2 cup

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the Chipa from sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, grated cheese, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients until they are well mixed.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and milk. These will serve as your wet ingredients.
4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until the ingredients are well combined and form a dough.
5. Using clean hands, knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
6. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small ball using your hands.
7. Arrange the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave enough space between each one as they will expand while baking.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Chipa turns a lovely golden brown color and is cooked through.
9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Chipa cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this traditional Paraguayan delicacy warm!
