Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Ingredients: (about 46 biscuits) 100g butter, 210g cake flour, 50g sugar, 1g salt, 1 egg

   

2. 2 Cut the butter into small pieces and soften it at room temperature until there are no hard lumps. Note that the softened butter is still solid and not liquid. When it becomes liquid, it is called melted. 🌻Tip: In summer, it melts quickly when brought to room temperature. Just cut it into small pieces and it will take half an hour. If you want to use the microwave faster, press it for 30 seconds to see if it is soft, then 10 seconds, 10 seconds until you can press it with your fingers. If it turns into a liquid, it cannot be sent away. What if I was busy at the time and accidentally turned it into liquid? If you continue to put it in the refrigerator, the quality of the final biscuits will be affected.

   

3. 3 Using a mixer on low speed, beat the butter until feathery.

   

4. 4 Add the powdered sugar in 2 batches. After adding the powdered sugar, do not turn on the egg beater first, use a whisk to combine the powdered sugar and butter before whipping, otherwise the powdered sugar will splash out. When adding sugar for the second time, don’t forget to add salt together. Babies under 1 year old don’t need to add salt. The function of salt is to sweeten the biscuits, so you can add less sugar. 🌻Tips: Powdered sugar is powder made from white sugar. It is often used in baking. Powdered sugar melts easily during production, so it is deeply loved by bakers. If you are using fine or coarse sugar, be sure to beat it thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved before proceeding to the next step.

   

5. 5 Beat the eggs that have been placed at room temperature. Add the egg liquid to the butter in two batches. Add the last time when the egg liquid and butter are completely blended before adding the next batch. Otherwise, oil-water separation will occur. 🌻Tips: Oil-water separation means that when eggs are added to butter, they become watery. So the biscuits made in this form have no taste. How to avoid oil-water separation? Ask the eggs to come back to room temperature, or 20 degrees if your eggs have just been taken out of the refrigerator. Because when the eggs are melted into the butter, the temperature of the butter is 20 degrees, and if the eggs are only a few degrees, it is easy to cause the oil and water to separate. This is because butter solidifies easily when cold. Also easy to separate. In addition, the eggs need to be beaten in batches. When only a small amount of egg liquid is blended into butter, oil and water will not easily separate.

   

6. 6 All materials are smoothed.

   

7. 7 Sift the low-gluten flour and add it. 🌻Tip: If you don’t have low-gluten flour, just use ordinary flour: cornstarch = 4:1 and adjust it yourself.

   

8. 8 Stir a few times with a scraper, then knead the dough with your hands until it forms a ball. Do not over-knead. 🌻Tip: Over-kneading will cause gluten in the dough, and the original intention of using low-gluten flour will be lost.

   

9. 9 The dough is a bit sticky at this time, so place the dough in a plastic bag and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. 🌻Tips: After beating the butter, add flour, the dough will be a little sticky. Therefore, after placing the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour, the butter will solidify when cold, making it easier to work with. The dough should not be kept in the refrigerator for too long. If the refrigeration time is too long, the dough will solidify and the dough will easily break during operation.

   

10. 10 Take out the dough and roll it out to 2mm thick. 🌻Tip: Make sure the biscuits are the same size so that they will have the same color when baked. The thickness of the dough should be even, so use a rolling pin. If you want the biscuits not to be too soft when they come out, you can roll them out to a thickness of less than 0.3 cm. If the thickness is too thick, the biscuits will not be baked through easily.

    

11. 11 Cut out patterns with cookie cutters.

    

12. 12 Place cookies on baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake for 12 minutes. When the surface is golden, it is ready to be baked. 🌻Tip: Even the oven temperatures of the same brand and model will be slightly different. During the last 2 minutes of baking, watch next to the oven and take it out when you see it coloring.

    

13. 13 Freshly baked cookies are soft and will become crispy when completely cooled.

    

14. 14 When it cools down, seal it immediately, otherwise it will absorb air moisture and soften again.

    

15. 15 If the cookies become soft and unpalatable, continue baking at 180 degrees for a few minutes and they will recover. The homemade biscuits have no additives and have a shelf life of 2 weeks.
