FAQs About Pandebono

1. Can I use only cassava flour?

Yes, but mixing with cornstarch gives a lighter texture.

2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes — refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake right before serving.

3. What cheese works best?

Traditional: Queso costeño.
Substitutes: queso fresco, feta, cotija, or mozzarella.

4. Is Pandebono gluten-free?

Yes — it uses yuca flour and cornstarch.

5. Why did my Pandebono turn out dense?

This happens if:

  • The dough is too dry

Add a little milk to soften the dough.
