This is how my Brazilian daughter-in-law taught me (I like to use a mixture of grated cheese, including sharp cheddar)
Pão de quejo
Set oven to 375F
2 eggs
1/3 c oil (scant)
1/2 c milk
1/2 t sugar
1 - 1 1/2c tapioca starch or more
1 c "Tre Formaggi" shredded cheese blend from Superstore
Blend to creamy, not liquid consistently, with little lumps of cheese.
Pour into muffin tin, less than 1/2 full.
Bake at 375F.
Keep an eye on them as they puff up. When they are yellow,they are done.

This seems very complicated for pão de quejo/Brazilian cheese puffs. There is a Food52 version that is much simpler. It is mixed in a food processor, but a blender does just as well

This is the pao de quejo recipe I use. I double this recipe to make extras to freeze. The right flour makes the difference. I use the sour flour. My Brazilian friend does not like the sweet flour. And neither do I. The size of the eggs makes a difference in the moisture, so you may have to add extra flour or milk depending on the moisture content contributed by the eggs

There quite probably isn't one. And without knowing what recipe it is, it's tough to hazard a guess based on other recipes or ratio's.

it's a recipe for Pao de Queijo, and the ingredients are:
1 deep dish of melted lard
1 deep dish of water
1 shallow tablespoon salt
1 kg sweet cassava flour
12 eggs (approximately)
1 deep dish grated cured Minas cheese
does that help at all?
