CHEESE BUNS:
A BRAZILIAN DELICACY.

Cheese Buns: Upstate NY Travel & Stay.
The Brazilian cheese bun, known as "pão de queijo" in Portuguese, has a rich history that dates back to the 18th century, originated in the state of Minas Gerais (my home State!), in the Southeast of Brazil known for its dairy production.

​Pão de queijo gained popularity in the 20th century and became a beloved snack and breakfast item throughout Brazil. It is now a staple in Brazilian cuisine and has gained international recognition.

Today, you can find pão de queijo in various forms, from homemade recipes to commercially produced versions in supermarkets and restaurants. 
The 
versatility and deliciousness of pão de queijo have made it a symbol of Brazilian culinary culture, and it is often enjoyed with coffee, as a snack, or as a side dish.

The key ingredient in pão de queijo is tapioca or yucca flour, which is mixed with cheese, eggs, milk, water and vegetable oil. The dough is rolled into small balls and baked until they form a crispy outer layer with a chewy, cheesy interior. The use of tapioca flour is essential because it gives the buns their unique texture.

​And they are gluten free too!
