Directions

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
2. Heat Milk: In a saucepan, heat the whole milk and butter over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Make sure the butter is completely melted and incorporated into the milk.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the hot milk mixture over the tapioca flour and cheese mixture. Stir well until a thick, sticky dough forms. The mixture should come together easily and be pliable.
4. Shape Dough: Transfer the dough to a greased baking dish or tray. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the dough evenly into the dish, smoothing the top.
5. Cool and Set: Allow the dough to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until it's firm to the touch.
6. Cut into Squares: Once the dough has cooled and set, use a sharp knife to cut it into small squares, about 2.5 cm in size.

7. Fry Dadinhos: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large frying pan to 180°C. Carefully add the dadinho squares to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry the dadinhos until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.

8. Drain and Serve: Once fried, remove the dadinhos from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve the dadinhos hot, either plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
9. Enjoy: Dadinho de Tapioca is best enjoyed hot and crispy, so serve them immediately for the best flavor and texture.
