Use the scaled ingredient list. Steps and temperatures stay unchanged; use a larger pan or dish if needed. Seasonings to taste stay to taste.
How to make it
Bring the milk, water, oil and salt to just below boiling.
Pour all the hot liquid into the starch at once and stir with a spatula. The mixture looks lumpy and odd; that is correct. Let it cool to warm.
Work in the eggs one at a time, then both cheeses. Knead to an even sticky mass — hands are easier than a spoon.
With wet hands roll walnut-sized balls and space them three centimetres apart on a tray.
Bake at 200 °C for twenty minutes until golden. Do not open the door for the first fifteen: the steam escapes and they collapse.
