Servings: 20
Ingredients
- Tapioca flour (polvilho doce)
- 2 cups
- Water
- 1 cup
- Vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Eggs
- 2 large
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water, vegetable oil, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your delicious Biscoito de Polvilho!
