How to Make Homemade Polvilho Biscuit

The bakery-style polvilho ring is a comforting recipe filled with memories, passed down from my grandmother and rich in family tradition. See below the list of all ingredients and required quantities. And then, a very complete preparation method with details of the recipe.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 small eggs or 1 ½ eggs
⅓ cup of oil (100 ml)
⅓ cup of whole milk (100 ml)
⅓ cup of hot water (100 ml)
14 ounces of sour cassava starch (400 grams)
1 level tablespoon of salt

Instructions:

First, in a bowl, combine the sour tapioca starch, salt, and hot water, stirring well with a spoon.

Then, add the milk and mix thoroughly to blend the ingredients. Next, incorporate the oil, stirring again until you achieve a smooth mixture.

To adjust the dough’s texture, start by adding one egg, beaten with a fork, and mix well. After that, add another egg or just half, as needed, until the dough reaches a sticky yet firm consistency.

Afterwards, using two tablespoons, portion the dough onto two glass baking dishes, shaping two circles.

Lastly, bake in a preheated oven at 356 °F (180 °C) for a few minutes, until the bread rings turn golden.

Finally, remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve. Enjoy your delightful bakery-style tapioca starch bread rings!

Tips:

Dough Consistency: If the dough feels too dry after adding the eggs, add small amounts of water or milk to achieve the desired texture.
Flavor Variations: Besides Parmesan cheese, try adding dried herbs such as oregano or rosemary for a more aromatic version.
Storage: Keep the bread rings in a sealed container to maintain their crisp texture for several days.
