Brazilian Cheese Buns

"My friend Belén taught me to make these buns one day she was feeling nostalgic and longing for her home country, Brazil. She said the recipe was her mom's, and always gave her excellent results; the truth is, when I tried it I was delighted.Back then I was living in Peru and loved experimenting with different types of Peruvian cheeses, even though Belen always insisted there was nothing better than Minas cheese, we had to improvise with other cheeses since the original wasn´t available. I'm sure you'll love these buns as much as I do...."
