  3. Drop the dough into the water or broth, about 1 tablespoon at a time, using a small cookie scoop or two spoons.

Notes

Bubbe’s tip: Overcooking these can make them dense and heavier, If you want them to stay fluffy, keep the cooking time short and sweet!

*Start with a 1/2 cup of cassava flour, and add a bit more if necessary, to get them scoopable. You want it to be like thick cake batter, not quite solid or they will be dense.
