Polvilho Baked Biscuit

Preparation mode

• 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.
