Ingredients
- 500 grams tapioca flour (polvilho azedo)
- 250 ml water
- 125 ml vegetable oil
- 10 grams 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 saucepan, combine the water, vegetable oil, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, place the tapioca flour. Pour the boiling liquid over the tapioca flour, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until well incorporated. The mixture will look loose and not fully combined; this is normal.
Step 4
Let the mixture cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes, until it is warm but not hot to the touch.
Step 5
Add the eggs one at a time to the tapioca mixture, mixing well after each addition. Use an electric mixer or a strong wooden spoon to combine. The dough should be smooth, slightly sticky, and form soft peaks.
Step 6
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle.
Step 7
Pipe 5-inch long sticks onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each for expansion.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the biscoitos are puffed, crisp, and dry throughout, with a light golden color.
Step 9
Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
