Ingredients
- 250 g tapioca starch
- 150 ml warm water
- 50 ml vegetable oil
- 125 ml whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 30 g grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tapioca starch and salt. Mix well to distribute the salt evenly.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the warm water, vegetable oil, and milk. Heat this mixture over medium heat until it just comes to a boil.
Step 4
Immediately pour the hot liquid into the tapioca starch mixture, stirring quickly with a wooden spoon until you achieve a smooth dough.
Step 5
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then add the egg, and if using, the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star-shaped nozzle or a plain round tip, depending on your preferred biscuit shape.
Step 7
Pipe small circles or rings onto the prepared baking sheets, giving enough space between them as the biscuits will expand slightly while baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits become golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the biscoitos cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container once completely cooled.
