Beiju - A Discovery

0
Another shameless plug for Brazilian food coming up...
The humble Beiju, a pancake of sorts made from coarsely ground tapioca, or manioc as its referred to over there.

So in a roastingly hot, dry pan, sprinkle a layer of tapioca...


At this point Michelle expressed disappointment in me for not allowing her to do her hair.
Place some cheese, bacon, onion, etc, typical omelette fillings on top and toast for a while...


Then flip, toast, fold, eat.


The texture is the real winner, hard to describe. Crispy, chewy, toasty, cheesy, porky, buttery at the same time. Or something like that anyway. The trick is going to be where to find this coarse tapioca flour over here...
Another option is the condensed milk version with coconut, didnt get a change to give this guy a day in court, too busy digesting everything else.
