Biscoito de Polvilho

Biscoito de Polvilho is a beloved Brazilian snack that delights the senses with its light, crunchy texture and subtle flavors. Originating from the Minas Gerais region, these gluten-free tapioca flour biscuits are perfect for any occasion, whether enjoyed as a snack on their own or paired with coffee or tea. Their airy consistency makes them not only satisfying but also fun to eat, making them a favorite among both children and adults alike.

Serves 20

Ingredients

Tapioca flour (polvilho doce)
2 cups
Water
1 cup
Vegetable oil
1/3 cup
Salt
1 teaspoon
Eggs
2 large

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, vegetable oil, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Once boiling, carefully pour the hot mixture over the tapioca flour in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined and no dry flour remains.
  4. Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes. Once it's warm but not hot, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until you achieve a smooth and pliable dough.
  5. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in small circles or sticks, leaving some space in between each for spreading.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your delicious Biscoito de Polvilho!

Tips

  • 💡 For a cheesy variation, add 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the dough before piping.
  • 💡 Experiment with spices such as garlic powder or paprika for a unique twist on the flavor.
