Tapioca

Mix all the ingredients and, using your palms, work them together to form a coarse and fluffy farofa

Heat it over low heat in a non-stick skillet

Place an 8cm cookie cutter ring over the skillet

Add 2 tablespoons of the mixture inside the ring, pressing gently, let it cook for 1 minute and then remove the ring

As the farofa heats up, it will come together to form a thick pancake

Reduce heat and flip

Let it cook for a bit longer in the skillet

Serve it like this or, if desired, drizzle with coconut milk syrup

This dish is known as tapioca in Ceará, but also by beiju in Bahia.
