Hello, I'm Japanese living in Northern Virginia. This Pão de Queijo (ポンデケージョ in Japanese) is very popular in Japan and I used to eat them all the time. Many bakeries make them. There are several Pão de Queijo mix sold at most supermarket in Japan. Since I've moved here 11 years ago, I have not seen any of this bread here in US. So every summer I go back to Japan for 2 months, I buy lots of this mix so I can make them at home in US. One day I found that Amazon.com carry Brazilian mix of this Pão de Queijo! But I have not tried those yet.
I knew there are many recipe of Pão de Queijo on www.cookpad.com (Japanese cooking recipe website in Japanese) and I was going to try making it but haven't done that yet. Now I found this recipe on your blog, I must try it! By the way, most of the recipes I looked at www.cookpad.com these are NOT runny like the ones I see on your blog. Its more like regular dough and you shape the dough with your hands, not to scoop with cookie scoop! But this recipe is from Brazilian Ricardo so it must be authentic....
PJ, at the Housewares show in Chicago could you see if anyone makes individual non-stick hot dog bun pan? I know you used to carry New England Hot Dog Bun Pan but I prefer old standard hot dog buns. Just like this kind...

I prefer to have individual pan instead of having large pan because I can stack them when not in use. I hate large pan that take up so much space in my cabinet. I'm also looking for Dropper Caps for 4oz & 8oz bottles like for Coffee Extract #2269, Fiori Di Sicilia #2475 and Vanilla #1229/#2336? I hate to spill and make a mess and waste every time I pour it and cap get sticky and sometimes not able to open the bottle due to spilling. I looked everywhere but I can not find it anywhere.
Another item will be individual non-stick metal rectangular Financier pan (not sheet pan)?
You mentioned that request must be "anything non-food" but I really want your company to carry SAF Instant Pizza Yeast Green! I buy them when I go to Japan and its available there. I wish I can get it here in US.

If you have used SAF Green you know its great! Easy to stretch and it won't shrink back. You don't need dough improver nor dough relaxer. Every time I use this SAF Green I get best result with your Pizza Dough Flavor #1043!
I really enjoy your blog with lots of pictures, its very helpful!
