Ingredients
- 250 grams Manioc starch (polvilho azedo)
- 250 milliliters Water
- 100 milliliters Sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the water, sunflower oil, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, place the manioc starch.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle or use a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
Step 7
Pipe the dough into the prepared baking sheets, forming sticks or rings, leaving some space between each for expansion.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
Step 9
Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
