About Chipa Piru
Ana María Gómez Silgueira's chipa pirú are small rings made with starch, aged Paraguay cheese and grated cheese. Whole egg and extra yolks enrich the dough, with anise seeds supplying its aromatic flavour.
The fat is beaten until creamy before the eggs and cheeses are incorporated. Starch brings the mixture together; a little orange juice is offered if the dough needs more liquid.
The dough is kneaded until compact and shaped into little rings. A relatively low oven dries the chipas during baking, producing the crisp form associated with chipa pirú.
