Pão de queijo

Pão de queijo ( POWN-də-KAY-zhoo; Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈpɐ̃w dʒi ˈke(j)ʒu], "cheese bread" in Portuguese) or Brazilian cheese bread is a small, baked cheese roll or cheese ball, a popular snack and breakfast food in Brazil. It is a traditional Brazilian recipe, originating in the state of Minas Gerais. In Brazil, it is inexpensive and often sold from streetside stands by vendors carrying a heat-preserving container. It is also commonly found in groceries, supermarkets, and bakeries, industrialized or freshly made. The cassava flour is what gives the snack its distinct texture, which is chewy and elastic, being crunchy on the outside. Most countries in South America have their own versions of this snack; the main difference between them, in general, is the ingredients used in the recipe, which can change slightly, giving different results.
