What Are Pandebonos?

Pandebonos are a popular cheese bread from Colombia, often enjoyed warm for breakfast or as an afternoon snack with coffee or hot chocolate. Made with cassava starch and cheese, they have a unique texture—crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside.

Homemade Pandebono Recipe

Ingredients:

✔️ 2 cups cassava starch (also called yuca or tapioca starch)
✔️ 1 cup cornmeal (for extra texture)
✔️ 1 teaspoon baking powder
✔️ 1 ½ cups grated cheese (Colombian quesito or feta works best)
✔️ 1 egg
✔️ ½ cup milk (or water for a dairy-free option)
✔️ 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra softness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, combine the cassava starch, cornmeal, and baking powder.
3. Add Cheese and Wet Ingredients – Mix in the grated cheese, then add the egg and milk. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
4. Knead the Dough – Use your hands to knead the mixture until smooth. If it’s too dry, add a little more milk.
5. Shape the Pandebonos – Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet.
6. Bake – Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
7. Enjoy! – Serve warm with coffee, hot chocolate, or your favorite dip.
