A classic Brazilian tea-time snack, biscoito de polvilho is made by scalding tapioca starch with hot milk and kneading it with egg and grated cheese into small, crisp-outside, chewy-inside cookies. They puff up in the oven and turn satisfyingly crunchy once cooled.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the milk

5 min

Bring the milk, oil and salt to a boil in a pot.

2

Scald the starch

5 min

Pour the boiling mixture over the tapioca starch and stir quickly with a spoon into a sticky dough.

3

Let it cool slightly

10 min

Leave the dough at room temperature for 10 minutes until it is cool enough to handle.

4

Knead in egg and cheese

10 min

Add the eggs and grated kashkaval cheese to the cooled dough and knead until it is sticky but easy to shape.

5

Bake

20 min

Roll the dough into small balls, arrange them on a baking tray and bake in an oven preheated to 190°C for 20 minutes until the outside is crisp and lightly puffed.

Reminder

Even if the dough feels sticky, do not add flour; the tapioca starch firms up as it cools. Allergens: contains milk and dairy (kashkaval cheese), egg.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Cut back the kashkaval and add a little more grated hard cheese instead for a saltier finish; do not try to knead the dough before it has cooled, or it will burn your hands.
