Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams tapioca starch
- 250 milliliters water
- 250 milliliters milk
- 125 milliliters sunflower oil
- 10 grams salt
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk, sunflower oil, and salt over medium heat and bring to a boil.
Once the mixture has reached a boil, remove it from the heat. Immediately pour it over the tapioca starch in a large mixing bowl, stirring continuously until well combined and a smooth dough forms.
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a large round tip with the dough. Pipe 3-inch long strips onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each piece as they will expand while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Biscoito de Polvilho as a delightful snack on its own or with dips of choice.
