Cashew Nut Shortbread

Overview

Because of the addition of cashew powder, it has a more nutty aroma than ordinary butter biscuits. Then insert large cashew nuts, and the materials used are quite high-standard. In fact, whether the biscuits are delicious or not, the ingredients account for a large proportion. Those biscuits that come in packages of one or two pieces in the supermarket, you can already tell what ingredients are used. Why not buy some good ingredients yourself, use your hands, and make high-end biscuits for your family without any additives.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Cashew powder is actually the powder after dry grinding cashew nuts. It will have a nutty aroma when added to biscuits, so use a food processor to process it first. Soften the butter at room temperature, then add the powdered sugar, mix well with a spatula first, otherwise the powdered sugar will fly everywhere if you don't beat it directly with a whisk. Use a whisk to beat the butter thoroughly until fluffy. Then add the whole egg liquid in two or three times and beat. The reason why it is added in batches is to avoid the separation of egg and oil.

   

2. 2 The butter will be fluffy after being beaten. Then sift in low-gluten flour, baking powder, cashew powder and milk powder. Cashew powder may not be easy to sift, so try not to clump it into particles. Use a spatula to mix the flour and butter evenly. Find a plastic bag without dry flour, put the dough in it, and knead it gently into a ball. Then put it in the refrigerator to rest for half an hour. This is also to prevent your hands from sticking when you operate it later.

   

3. 3 Take out the refrigerated dough and roll it into small balls of about 11-12 grams each. Brush the surface of the ball with egg white liquid. Then add the cashews and press lightly to let the cashews stick in. I couldn't finish baking it on one baking pan, so I baked it in two batches.

   

4. 4 For an oven with separate heating functions for the upper and lower tubes, set the upper tube to 180 degrees and the lower tube to 150 degrees. Place the middle rack and bake for about 25 minutes. The temperature of the upper and lower tubes cannot be controlled independently. Just set it to 165 degrees. Bake the middle layer for about 25 minutes. After turning off the heat, put it in the oven and simmer for 7 or 8 minutes. Take it out.
