Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Manioc starch (polvilho azedo)
- 250 milliliters Water
- 100 milliliters Sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, combine the water, sunflower oil, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
In a large mixing bowl, place the manioc starch.
Pour the boiling mixture over the manioc starch and stir quickly using a wooden spoon until the starch has absorbed the liquid and forms a sticky dough.
Let the dough cool for about 5 minutes. Once it is cool enough to handle, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and slightly elastic.
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle or use a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
Pipe the dough into the prepared baking sheets, forming sticks or rings, leaving some space between each for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
