Instructions

1 Boil 4 cups of water in a pot.
2 While water is heating up, place 2 cups of cassava flour in a bowl. Slowly add
1/2 cup of cold water and mix together with a whisk until smooth. Set aside.
3 Once the water is boiling, slowly pour in the cassava flour mixture while
continuously stirring. Reduce heat to medium.
4 Using a wooden spoon or whisk, vigorously stir and mash the mixture for about
10-15 minutes. It will become stretchy and sticky. If too dry, add more hot
water a few tablespoons at a time.
5 Cover pot and allow to rest for 8-10 minutes.
6 Uncover and briefly knead funge for a minute until smooth. For softer funge, mix
in butter or oil while kneading.
7 Shape into round balls or a loaf. Serve warm with desired sauces, stews or
proteins. Enjoy!
