Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Cut the butter into small pieces and put it in a large basin to soften at room temperature. Add the fine sugar and beat it with a whisk

   

2. 2 Add mixed sifted flour and soda ash. Use a spatula to cut and mix evenly

   

3. 3 Place the dough between two pieces of plastic wrap or plastic bags, roll it into a square shape, about 3-4mm thick, and then place it in the refrigerator to freeze hard

   

4. 4 After 30 minutes, take it out, cut it into the desired shape and size with a mold, and place it on the baking sheet. Separate some space between each piece of biscuit so that it will expand and spread when baked

   

5. 5 Brush the surface of the biscuits with egg wash (it doesn't matter if you don't brush, I didn't), and sprinkle with coarse sugar (it's recommended to sprinkle more). Preheat the oven to 175 degrees. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for about 15 minutes until browned.
