Where to find ingredients
You can find sour cassava starch (polvilho azedo) in the international section of large supermarkets or specialty health food stores. If unavailable, ensure you use sour starch specifically, as sweet cassava starch (polvilho doce) will not provide the same airy texture.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cassava starch, egg yolk, olive oil, milk, and salt.
- Gradually pour in the hot water, stirring continuously until the dough reaches a smooth and uniform consistency.
- Transfer the mixture into a piping bag or a sturdy plastic bag with a small corner snipped off.
- Pipe the dough into rings or your preferred shapes directly onto a dry, ungreased baking sheet.
- Place the tray into an oven preheated to 250°C.
- Bake until the biscuits are golden brown and crisp.
