Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pao De Queijo)
Pao de queijo go well with a meal or just a cup of coffee or tea. They don't keep well so it's better to eat them the day you make them. If you roll the balls a little larger, you can add some cheese and/or meat to them after they are baked to make little sandwiches.
