Coconut Cream Puffs after Dona Mariquinha's Recipe

In a saucepan, mix the sugar and water, then bring to a boil, stirring only until dissolved

Remove from heat and let cool slightly

Add the eggs beaten lightly, cheese, coconut, margarine, and finally, flour

Mix very well and place in muffin tin cups greased with butter

Bake in preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 90 minutes or until the surface is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean

Let cool completely before removing from molds, carefully passing a knife around each one

Place on paper-lined plates

You'll have 20 pieces

Note: To achieve a firmer consistency, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch along with the flour.
