Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g tapioca starch
- 300 ml water
- 100 ml vegetable oil
- 10 g salt
- 5 g baking powder
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tapioca starch and salt.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and vegetable oil to a boil. Remove from heat as soon as it boils.
Pour the hot liquid over the tapioca starch and salt in the mixing bowl, stirring immediately with a wooden spoon to avoid any lumps.
Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes until it's warm to the touch, but not hot.
Add the eggs to the mixture, and mix well until fully combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Finally, stir in the baking powder, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip or simply use a plastic bag with a snipped corner.
Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheets in long strips or circles, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed up and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
