Directions

  1. Whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy.
  2. Mix the tapioca starch and glutinous rice flour together, then sift finely. ≈ 4 min
  3. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the beaten eggs, always sifting. Then, mix until a smooth, elastic dough is formed. ≈ 4 min
  4. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut out squares that are 3 cm in size, then cut them diagonally to form triangles. ≈ 8 min
  5. Gently fold one corner of the dough inwards and press the fold to secure it. ≈ 3 min
  6. Place the triangles in still-wet oil paint. As they expand, gently stir until cooked, then remove and drain. ≈ 4 min
  7. Boil the sugar with the water until it dissolves to create a syrup.
  8. Dip the fried biscuits in the syrup and stir to ensure that the entire surface is evenly coated. ≈ 4 min
  9. Remove them, let them cool, and then serve.
