Ingredients
- 500 grams tapioca starch
- 250 milliliters water
- 250 milliliters milk
- 125 milliliters sunflower oil
- 10 grams salt
- 2 large eggs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk, sunflower oil, and salt over medium heat and bring to a boil.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown on the outside.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Serve the Biscoito de Polvilho as a delightful snack on its own or with dips of choice.
