Ingredients
- 500 g tapioca starch
- 300 ml water
- 100 ml vegetable oil
- 10 g salt
- 5 g baking powder
- 2 large eggs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tapioca starch and salt.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and vegetable oil to a boil. Remove from heat as soon as it boils.
Step 4
Pour the hot liquid over the tapioca starch and salt in the mixing bowl, stirring immediately with a wooden spoon to avoid any lumps.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes until it's warm to the touch, but not hot.
Step 6
Add the eggs to the mixture, and mix well until fully combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Step 7
Finally, stir in the baking powder, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 8
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip or simply use a plastic bag with a snipped corner.
Step 9
Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheets in long strips or circles, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed up and lightly golden.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
