👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and dust lightly with cornmeal.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Ensure oven is fully preheated for best results. - 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, corn meal, baking powder, and salt.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Make sure all dry ingredients are well combined. - 3
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients. Use your hands or a pastry blender to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
💡 Профессиональные советы: The mixture should hold together in pea-sized lumps. - 4
Make a well in the center of the mixture. Whisk the eggs and milk together and pour into the well. Mix until a stiff dough forms.
💡 Профессиональные советы: The dough might seem dry at first; continue to knead until it becomes pliable. - 5
Fold in the grated/crumbled cheeses and toasted anise seeds until the dough comes together into a firm ball.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Ensure the cheese and anise seeds are evenly distributed. - 6
Divide the dough into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently flatten.
💡 Профессиональные советы: For consistent size, weigh the portions. - 7
Shape each flattened ball into a rope about 7 inches long and ½-inch thick. Bring the ends together to form a circle and press to seal, creating the 'argolla' (ring) shape.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Ensure the seal is firm to prevent the rings from opening during baking. - 8
Place the shaped chipas on the prepared baking sheets, about 3 inches apart.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Allowing space between them ensures even baking. - 9
