Ingredients

1 cup whole milk
½ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ teaspoon salt
2 ½ cups tapioca flour
1 egg large, beaten
¾ cup Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400'F.
In a saucepan mix milk, oil, and salt on medium heat until the mixture starts to gently bubble. Remove from stove.
Slowly mix in the flour in ¼ increments until the mixture comes together like a ball. The mixture will be somewhat shiny.
Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand up mixer, and using a paddle attachment beat on medium until the dough becomes smooths and cools down a bit.
Add the beaten egg slowly, and continue to beat until well combined.
Next, add the cheese and beat until the mixture is fully combined.
The dough will be a bit sticky, an similar to the consistency of batter.
Using a cookie scoop, make balls and place them about 1 " apart on a parchment lined baking sheet. *
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden.
Remove from oven. Enjoy while they are still warm.

Notes

You can freeze the raw dough balls, but don't freeze once baked!
