Brazilian Cheese Bread

My 7 year old tasted Pao de Queijo at a school "Cultural Celebration" and couldn't stop talking about it.  I promised him I would make some.  I even found a simplified version that bakes in mini muffin cups instead of having to roll them individually into balls.  Then I spent the next few weeks unsuccessfully trying to find tapioca flour at a store I go to.  I finally had to make a special trip to Whole Foods just to get it, but he is happy to have his Pao de Quijo.  I personally did not really enjoy the glommy texture, I would prefer just typical cheese biscuits or something, but since it is now a favorite of the kids I had better keep track of the recipe!  We made it with queso fresco, very mild flavor.
