Fried Tapioca Biscuit

Preparation mode

• Place the cassava starch in a large bowl.
• Boil the water and, while it is boiling, pour it over the tapioca starch. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
• Add the oil to the hot tapioca pasta and mix well until completely incorporated.
• Let the batter cool slightly, as you don’t want the eggs to cook when added. When the dough is warm, add the eggs and salt. Mix well.
• If you want to give your cookies extra flavor, add grated cheese to the dough and mix well.
• Preheat a pan with vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough for frying.
• With damp hands, take small portions of the dough and shape the cookies. You can make balls or whatever shape you prefer.
• Fry the biscuits in batches in the hot oil until they are golden and crispy. This usually only takes a few minutes.
• Remove the biscuits with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
• Serve the fried tapioca biscuits while they are still hot. They are delicious on their own or with coffee or tea.
