Preparation Steps

  1. Cook the Dough

    Start by bringing a saucepan with water and oil to a boil. In a bowl, combine the sour tapioca flour and salt. Once the water in the saucepan boils, pour it into the bowl with the tapioca flour. Mix well and let it cool down. Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Make sure the dough is well combined and shiny.

    Ensure the mixture cools sufficiently to handle.
  2. Shape and Bake

    On a greased baking sheet, shape the dough into finger-like pieces using a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small hole. Bake at medium temperature, keeping an eye on them as they bake very quickly!

    Watch closely to prevent burning.
