Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Yellow Cornmeal cooked
  • 1/2 cup Tapioca Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Granulated Sugar
  • 2 cups Grated Cheese either farmer's cheese, Monterey jack or mozzarella
  • 2 large Egg
  • pinch of Kosher Salt
  • 3 teaspoons Milk or buttermilk (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F and grease a cookie sheet.
  • Combine the cooked cornmeal, tapioca flour, and sugar in a bowl, then stir in the grated cheese and the eggs.
  • Using a wooden spoon, mix well and taste to see if any salt is required. Add as necessary.
  • Knead the dough until smooth, adding the milk or buttermilk if it seems a bit dry. You need the dough to be soft and pliable.
  • Cover the dough in plastic wrap and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Roll pieces of the dough into golf-ball size balls, or shape into rings.
  • Place the rolls on to the greased cookie sheet and bake for around 20 minutes, until puffed up and golden in color.
  • Serve warm from the oven.
