Totals for the whole recipe, adding one typical portion per ingredient — listed above. Quantities in the recipe are not counted, so this is a rough guide only — not suitable for medical or dietary planning.

Ingredients

  • 3.3 pounds fresh cheese, grated
  • 1.1 pounds yucca (also known as cassava or tapioca) starch
  • 1 spoonful sugar
  • 3 spoonfuls milk
  • salt to the taste (if the cheese is not salty)

Directions

1

In a large bowl, mix grated cheese, yucca starch, sugar and salt (if the cheese is not salty). Finally add milk, pouring little by little until having a smooth, but not dry, dough.

2

Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a table sprinkled with some yucca starch. Knead until the dough is smooth and even.

3

Make small balls. With the forefinger, make a small hole at the bottom of each ball. Place the cuńapés in a yucca-starch-sprinkled baking sheet, with the hole in direct contact with the sheet.

4

Bake at a high temperature (American oven: 419 degrees Fahrenheit; European oven: 217 degrees Celsius) for twenty to twenty-five minutes, or until cuńapés are golden.
