Ingredients
- 500 grams tapioca starch
- 120 milliliters vegetable oil
- 240 milliliters water
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the vegetable oil and water. Heat over medium heat until the mixture reaches a gentle boil.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the tapioca starch, mixing well until a dough begins to form. The mixture may seem dry initially, but continue to mix until well incorporated.
Step 4
Allow the dough mixture to cool slightly before adding the eggs one at a time. Mix well after each addition until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.
Step 5
Stir in the black pepper and chopped green onions, combining thoroughly.
Step 6
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip or a zip-top bag with a corner cut off.
Step 7
Pipe 4-inch long sticks or any desirable shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them as they will expand during baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscoitos are golden and firm to the touch.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Step 10
Enjoy your Low Sodium Biscoito de Polvilho as a crispy and delightful snack!
