Hi Everyone,

Now I have different problem,to find flour.They call it "Manioc starch (polvilho doce) and (polvilho azedo) and companies name are:AMAFIL and YOKI. I live Long Island New York and we do not have here any Brazilian speciality store,but large spanish population and they do not carry it.Is any other store which carry that product??? Please, help.

What your looking for is Tapioca flour; made from the root of the manioc or cassava plant. Hope that this helps.
Tell us how the recipe turns out and better yet pictures if you can. . . ,

You can get it from any Chinese Store.
siuflower
on Main Street in Flushing definitely carries it.
Yippee
Did you ever find a source for the flour? Bob's Red Mill produces both tapioca flour and cassava flour. They are made from the same plant. I don't know how they are different, but the package of tapioca flour has a recipe for Brazilian cheese bread.
Whole Foods carries a lot of Bob's Red Mill products. So does Fairway (in the New York tri-state area).

Saintdennis,
As suiflower said, it's available at stores that cater to Chinese and South East Asian cuisine. Here's a place to start looking for stores on Long Island:
