- 1 teaspoon McCormick® Whole Rosemary Leaves, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground McCormick® Whole Black Pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray 12-cup muffin pan with no stick cooking spray. Set aside. Bring water, milk and butter to simmer in medium saucepan on medium heat, stirring to melt butter. Transfer mixture to bowl of heavy-duty standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Add tapioca flour; mix on medium-low speed 4 minutes or until the mixture is smooth. Gradually beat in eggs. Add Cotija cheese, rosemary and pepper; beat on low speed until well blended. (Batter will be thick and sticky.)
