What it is
This is a fine, white powder derived from the cassava root. The starch is extracted and then dried into a powdery form. It is a versatile ingredient commonly found in many kitchens. Its texture is smooth and powdery. It is a staple for many home bakers and cooks.
How people cook with it
People use this flour for thickening sauces and baking a variety of goods. It adds a unique texture to many dishes.
- Thickening gravies
- Making puddings
- Creating crispy coatings
To thicken liquids like sauces or fruit fillings, whisk the tapioca starch with a small amount of cold water or another liquid until smooth. Then, gradually stir this slurry into the hot liquid you are cooking. Continue to heat and stir until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency. It helps create a lighter, chewier result.
