Gather @vegetable oil{100%ml}, @egg{2} and @parmesan cheese{200%g}.

Bring the @milk{200%ml}, oil and @salt{1%tsp} just to a boil in a saucepan.

Pour the hot liquid over the @tapioca flour{400%g} in a bowl and stir into a rough, lumpy, scalded mass. Let it cool 10 minutes. ~{10%minutes}

Work in the eggs one at a time, then the cheese, kneading with your hands to a sticky, stretchy dough.

Roll into balls the size of a golf ball and space them out on a lined baking sheet.

Bake at 190°C for 22–25 minutes until puffed, pale gold and crackled on top. ~{23%minutes}

Serve warm, when the middles are at their stretchiest. Unbaked balls freeze beautifully — bake them straight from frozen.
