VEGAN PAO DE QUEIJO

Pao de Queijo is Portugese for “cheese bread,” so I wouldn’t blame you for being skeptical about a vegan recipe. But believe me when I say that with the medley of flavors from the soy milk, garlic and onion powders, and tapioca flour (the key to any good Pao de Queijo), you won’t be missing that dairy. And *bonus* it’s much lower in fat than the traditional preparation. Since this recipe serves 12-16 people, it makes the perfect hors d'oeuvre for your next party. But only, if you’re willing to share…
