Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1/2 pound hot Italian sausage (casings removed)
-
1/2 cup water
-
1/2 cup whole milk
-
1/2 cup vegetable oil
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
2 cups sour tapioca flour
-
2 large eggs
-
1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the sausage, and cook over moderately
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk, vegetable oil and salt and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat.
-
Place the sour tapioca flour in a large bowl and briskly mix in the hot milk mixture with a wooden spoon until the flour is completely incorporated and a sticky dough forms. When the dough is cool enough to handle, knead it until smooth and just slightly warm.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, kneading and then mixing with the wooden spoon until incorporated. Stir in the grated cheese and cooled sausage in two additions.
-
Using an ice cream scoop and greased hands, shape the dough into 2-tablespoon size balls and arrange them on two parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake until puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool on the sheets for a few minutes before serving.
