Cunape (Cheese Bread Balls)

THIS IS WHAT A PROPERLY SHAPED BAKED CUÑAPE LOOKS LIKE.
In English and in Spanish (below). I've tried this so many times and it works! It's also tasty too. Here's the recipe in both languages:
Begin by preheating your oven to 305 degrees Fahrenheit
1 cup yucca (manioc) starch
(you can get this in Latin or Mexican stores)
1 Round (3 cups) of Mexican cheese like Queso Fresco
1 egg
SALT, Water, and milk, as needed and only if the dough is too dry.
Crumble the cheese into a big mixing bowl (it should crumble easily) and add the yucca starch and egg and a pinch of salt. Knead it with your hands until you have a dough-like consistency. At this point, if it's too dry, you can add some milk or water.
Make them into little balls and insert your thumb into the bottom to make a hole in the bottom (this helps for it to not stick to your pan). Place them on top of a non stick pan or a floured pan. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
Place them in the oven between 15-20 minutes.
Do one batch first. If it comes out too cheesy, then add more starch.
