See the step-by-step instructions you must follow to make your Roasted Tapioca Biscuit. 
Use the ingredients below.

Ingredients

  • 500g sour cassava starch

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (can be corn oil, canola oil, etc.)

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • In a pan, boil the water. 
    As soon as it starts to boil, turn off the heat.
  • In a large bowl, place the sour cassava starch and salt.
  • Pour boiling water over the cassava starch. 
    Mix well with a wooden spoon until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
  • Add the oil to the mixture and stir well until completely incorporated.
  • Wait for the dough to cool slightly, as you don’t want the eggs to cook from the heat of the mixture.
  • Then add the eggs to the dough and continue mixing until they are completely incorporated. 
    The dough will be sticky, but that’s how it should be.
  • Now, you can shape the cookies. 
    You can make small balls the size of a walnut or use a cookie cutter.
  • Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them so they can expand a little during baking.
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool before enjoying.
