pão de queijo

A Brazilian necessity--pão de queijo (aka cheese bread)! These little balls of deliciousness are a perfect snack for hangouts. And I got my own private lesson. Watch the magic happen...

  1. I ate these at a wedding reception back in July. My friends and I dubbed them "Puff Balls of Glory!"

    "It's like it's CHEESE. But it's BREAD!"

    "They have all the delight of Goldfish with the added sophistication of bread!"

    It was only after this dialogue that we asked the Brazilian caterer what they were called. You can imagine my delight in finding that the Brazilians think of them the same way I do!
