Ingredients

  • 1 cup tapioca hidratada, hydrated
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk, (dairy or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for cooking

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the hydrated tapioca, shredded cheese, eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and a batter forms.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan.
  3. Once the oil is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, spreading it gently into a circle. Cook until the edges look set and the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes more.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed. You should have about 4-6 pancakes.
