    I’ve only had these once in a restaurant, but I recall these being slightly gummy inside, almost mochi-adjacent? Is that correct?

    What tapioca flour did you use? Because traditionally it’s made with a mix of “sweet” and “sour” tapioca flour, so you get chewy but also a harder shell and a little bit of leavening and structure. I’m asking because the “crust” looks different, I can’t tell why.

    Edit: oh god, it’s made on a blender? That’s why it looks weird. The best way to make it is to scald the flour with the wet ingredients, and then add the eggs and mix by hand. It’ll form a dough and then you shape them into balls, freeze, and then bake. Try doing that and it’ll change everything!

  3. They’re so beautiful I swear I’ll see these in my dreams tonight. Omw to make these for myself
