tapioca dadinho

preparation mode

• In a large bowl, mix the granulated tapioca, grated coalho cheese and salt.
• In a pan, heat the milk until it starts to boil. Pour the hot milk over the tapioca and cheese mixture. Stir well until you get a homogeneous mass.
• Line a rectangular mold (approximately 20x20cm) with parchment paper and pour the tapioca dough into the mold, leveling it with a spatula to make it uniform.
• Let the dough rest for at least 2 hours at room temperature or refrigerate for about 1 hour to firm up.
• After the dough is firm, cut into small cubes or in the shape of dadinhos.
• Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan. When the oil is very hot (approximately 180°C), fry the tapioca dadinhos in small portions until golden and crispy.
• Remove the dadinhos with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
• Serve the Dadinhos de Tapioca hot accompanied by your favorite sauce, such as pepper jelly.
