Preheat oven to 435° F. Beat eggs, oil, milk, salt and cheese together in a blender. Add ½ cup of polvilho doce (starch) at a time to the egg mixture and beat well after each addition.  Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides if necessary. Add baking powder and pulse 2 to 3 times to mix well. Divide mixture among muffin cups, filling them about half way.  The dough expands a lot when baking. Bake until puffed and golden brown. Serve hot. Enjoy! Janice Fung’s recipe
