Hey dudes, I'm Hilah, and today on Hilah Cooking I'm super excited.

We are making pão de queijo, a.k.a. Brazilian cheese bread, and I have a special guest here who is going to prove that I make the best pão de queijo in all the land.

If you're making pão de queijo, that's good that you asked me, because I'm an expert at eating them.

Okay, so this flour we have here, this is tapioca flour in America, you know, in English it's called tapioca flour, but if you go to a Brazilian store you can find it and it's called povilho doce, which means sweet tapioca flour, but then I was reading a lot of recipes like from Brazil use something called sour tapioca flour.

I've made it both ways, and we really couldn't tell a difference.

So I'm using the sweet tapioca flour for this because it's a lot easier for people to find in this country, but if you go to a Brazilian store and you can find a sour one, try it.

I'm going to add some salt because Brazilian food is very salty.

Back here I've got some whole milk that I just added some butter and some oil to and brought it to a slow boil and just let the butter melt, and we're going to add that to this flour.

So you just want to put your mixer on low speed.

There's another, there's a French recipe that I actually did a long time ago called gougeres.

It's like a cheese puff, but it's basically the exact same except with wheat flour.

So I think this must be some kind of version of European, like European buttover.

It might be because this is like from the southeast of Brazil, and south of Brazil and southeast got a lot of, from Europe, people going there.

So it might be some kind of interpretation.

And then they just made it with whatever flour they had, yeah.

Once it's a little bit cool, then we can add some eggs.

You don't want to, you want it to be a little bit cool so you don't cook the eggs, obviously.

Now, we're going to add the cheese, because it's called cheese bread.

So I'm actually using the proper cheese, which is Queijo Minas.

Most recipes I've seen in the U.S. call for Parmesan, which is kind of weird because this to me is not anything like Parmesan.

But we've, I made it with both and they're both good.

So I'm going to use this one because we went to the Brazilian market and we got it, but you can totally use Parmesan too and it'll be tasty.

So we just want to mix this in on low speed.

I've got parchment paper on the baking tray and I've got this little cool scoop.

That's not the brand name, although it should be.

And I found the easiest thing to do is dip it in some water so that the dough doesn't stick really bad.

This dough is great because you can freeze it if you wanted to just freeze it like this.

And then once they're frozen solid, you can pop them off and stick them in a bag and have pão de queijo whenever you want.

You're going to get to eat some pão de queijo.

We'll put these in the oven for about 20 or 25 minutes.

Crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside.

I make the best ones on the whole planet.

I want to say hi to my mom, to my dad, to my sister, to my friends, to everyone in Brazil, and especially to you, Xuxa.

You just thanked your parents and your friends and the whole country of Brazil and me.
