Ingredients

  • 2 cups cassava flour (yuca flour)
  • 1 cup grated cheese (such as Parmesan, queso fresco, or a blend)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, mix the cassava flour, grated cheese, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano (if using).

Add the softened butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

Gradually add the egg and milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Shape and Bake

Scoop spoonfuls of dough and shape them into small balls or patties. You can also form them into small rings if desired.

Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the Chipa are golden brown and cooked through.

Serve

Allow the Chipa to cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy warm as a snack or appetizer.
