American biscuits

Ingredients

Wheat flour 270 g
Baking powder 1 tbsp. l.
Salt 1/2 tsp
Sugar 40 g
Vanilla
Cold butter 85 g
Hard-boiled egg yolks 2 pcs.
Chilled cream 180 ml

Cooking method

  • Biscuits are an American classic. They are very quick and easy to prepare, have an unpretentious taste. Good for breakfast, ideal as a quick bake. In 30 minutes "from scratch" you can have time to get a ready-made dessert, and your participation will take only 5 minutes. Well Americans don't like to strain
  • Honestly, I don't even know our analogues for this pastry. I would describe them as half biscuit, half cupcake, half bun.
  • Freshly cooked ones have a hard crust and a moist, soft center. When cooled, the crust becomes soft.
  • Slightly sweet. Only slightly. Therefore, jam, jam, honey are well suited to them. Perfect with fruit and whipped cream.
  • However, try it yourself and you will understand what to combine with.
  • The cooking process is incredibly fast.
  • 1. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add sugar and vanilla. Stir dry ingredients.
  • 2. In a bowl we cut cold butter into small pieces and three yolks through a fine grater. We send the bowl to the freezer for 5 minutes for strong cooling and hardening of the oil (or in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes).
  • 3. Using the “spatula” nozzle or simply by hand, grind the oil until coarse crumbs are formed.

  • Pour in the chilled cream and continue kneading until a whole dough is formed.

  • The dough kneading process can be continued by hand.
  • 4. We spread our dough on the work surface and roll it out to a thickness of 2 cm. (You may not need a rolling pin here, just press it with your hands and that's it)
  • 5. Cut out circles with a round cookie cutter with a diameter of 5 cm. Dip the mold in flour. The movements should be sharp so that the edges are sharp.
  • American biscuits
  • We spread on a baking sheet with a distance of 1-2 cm between our circles. The biscuits will increase in size during the baking process.

  • 6. Coat the top with an egg or melted butter. Sprinkle with sugar. This will make the hat harder and crisper. (I specially sprinkled sesame seeds for my young sesame lover). You can skip this step.
  • 7. Bake in an oven preheated to 220C for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 180C and bake for another 5-7 minutes. Cool on the wire rack.

  • We eat anything - warm or cold.
  • Interestingly, it is recommended not to cut the biscuits, but to tear them in half.
  • Personally, I liked it just with a cup of cappuccino.
  • Yes, and with peach and honey it turned out to be "right"

  • According to recipe author Rose Levy-Beranbaum, yolks add extra tenderness to texture as well as enhance color.
  • One more remark: it is supposed to use cream with a fat content of at least 35%. It is also possible to replace cream with kefir.
  • But I did 10% on cream in the same amount.
  • P.S. Well, reading again - longer than doing

L-olga, Olya, wow !!! Well class! I took them away!

What does it look like? For cupcakes or not?

What fat cream?
L-olga
Maria, so I would say denser than a cupcake, softer than a cookie. Yes, even with a crust, and even barely sweet)))
It is supposed to use cream with a fat content of at least 35%. It is also possible to replace cream with kefir.
or a combination of cream and kefir.
And I did 10% on cream in the same amount. I also made 10% cream and kefir. Ahh, and I just did it on kefir)
