The flavor profile of Beijú Simples is subtly starchy and slightly nutty, with a neutral base that readily absorbs the flavors of fillings.
The primary flavor comes from the hydrated tapioca starch, which when cooked, creates a slightly chewy and elastic texture. The taste is mild, allowing for a wide range of fillings, from sweet to savory, to shine. The tapioca itself has a very faint nutty taste when cooked properly.

Hydration is Key
Ensure the tapioca starch is properly hydrated, but not overly wet. It should resemble a slightly coarse, damp powder.
Hot Pan, No Oil
Cook the beijú on a hot, dry non-stick skillet or crepe maker. No oil or butter is needed for a classic Beijú Simples.
Even Layer
Spread the hydrated tapioca starch in an even, thin layer on the hot pan. This ensures even cooking and a consistent texture.
Flip Timing
Wait until the edges of the tapioca start to lift and the starch begins to bind together before flipping. This will prevent the Beijú from breaking apart.
