Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F).
Combine milk, vegetable oil, and salt in a wide container. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add corn starch and stir rapidly to combine.
Remove from heat and let cool until just warm to the touch.
Add eggs to the cooled dough and mix well. Add finely grated hard cheese and knead until the dough is elastic and buttery.
Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil and lightly dust with flour. Form the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared sheet, spaced roughly 2 cm apart.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 25 minutes, until golden brown.

Bon Appetit!
