This recipe comes to us from Judy Tolliver.
The state of Minas Gerais is known throughout Brazil for its cuisine, and there are places in other parts of Brazil where one can buy pã de queijo and other mineiro specialties. Any mineiro cook can make pao de queijo, and there are endless recipes and methods for it. Minas Gerais is also known for its cheeses; the Wisconsin of Brazil, if you wish.
