Ingredients
1 kg sweet cassava starch
2 cups sugar
300 g margarine
6 whole eggs
100 g desiccated coconut
2 cups sugar
300 g margarine
6 whole eggs
100 g desiccated coconut
Where to find ingredients
Sweet cassava starch can be found in the flour or baking aisle of specialty international or South American grocery stores. If unavailable, look for 'tapioca starch' or 'cassava flour' (ensure it is the starch variety, not the coarse flour). Margarine and desiccated coconut are readily available in the baking section of any standard local supermarket in Botswana.
Preparation method
- Combine the sweet cassava starch, sugar, margarine, eggs, and desiccated coconut in a large mixing bowl
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly and knead by hand until you achieve a smooth, uniform dough
- Grease a baking tray with a thin layer of fat
- Roll small portions of the dough into bite-sized balls
- Arrange the dough balls on the baking tray, leaving a little space between each one
- Bake in a preheated oven at a medium setting
- Leave to bake until the biscuits reach a light golden hue
Observations
These biscuits are perfect for a midday snack. The preparation is straightforward, yielding a generous batch of biscuits that boast a delightful, signature crunch.
