You don’t have to be Brazilian to enjoy these savory gluten-free cheese buns. Super easy, and a nice change from gluey matzo bagels.

Loved having these for a chol hamoeid Pesach meal. They taste just like I remember them when my Brazilian sister-in-law first introduced me to pão de queijo. Like little cheesy pockets of heaven. I will say I didn’t have any regular milk on hand so used my homemade almond milk as a substitute, and I found the dough a little too dry, so I added about another half cup of it to get it the right consistency. Came out great! Would highly recommend.
Great
