Whether you're whipping up a quick brunch, need a gluten-free side dish, or crave something cozy without the fuss, this recipe delivers every time. It's budget-friendly, kid-approved, and naturally gluten-free thanks to the use of tapioca or corn starch.

Ingredients:

• 1 large egg
• A pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 cups corn starch (cornflour) or tapioca flour
• 1 cup shredded cheese (Mozzarella, Parmesan, cheddar, or a mix)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

 Equipment Needed:

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk or fork
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Non-stick skillet or flat pan
• Spatula
• Small bowl for melted butter

Instructions:

1. Mix Wet Ingredients
   In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, salt, and milk until smooth.
2. Add Starch Gradually
   Slowly mix in the corn starch or tapioca flour, stirring constantly to form a soft dough.
3. Fold in Cheese & Butter
   Stir in the grated cheese and melted butter until well incorporated.
4. Add Baking Powder
   Sprinkle in the baking powder and gently fold until just combined.
5. Heat the Skillet
   Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. No need for extra oil.
6. Form Dough Patties
   Shape the dough into 1–2 inch rounds, slightly flattened.
7. Cook to Perfection
   Cook for 4–6 minutes per side until golden and crisp outside, gooey inside.
8. Serve Hot
   Best enjoyed warm straight from the skillet. Pair with soups, eggs, or serve as a cheesy snack.

 Tips & Variations:

• Use parmesan or cheddar for extra flavor.
• Add chili flakes or herbs for a twist.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a skillet to restore crispiness.
