Biscuit assortment

Biscuits are simple. But perfecting an ultimate biscuit recipe is pretty hard. I've been trying to come up with an easy enough biscuit recipe which also have that "moreish-ness" to it.

So... yesterday I made 4 different biscuits that I've been meaning to test out. Normally when I do multiple recipe experiments, some of them fails miserably.... However, this time all of them came out awesome!

So here we are. There are what I made...

Jam biscuit (I used raspberry jam)

Flour 100g

Butter 50g

Sugar 50g

Jam 50g

Baking powder 1/2 tsp

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºc. Cream butter and sugar together.

2. Add jam and mix well.

3. Fold flour and baking powder into 2.

4. Knead lightly until the mixture come together and smooth.

5. Wrap with cling film and rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 5mm thickness. Cut out the dough and place on a baking sheet.

7. Bake in the preheated (180ºc) oven for 10-12 minutes.

Salted vanilla biscuit
Same as the Lemon meringue's sweet pastry.
After making the dough, shape it into a stick and rest it in the freezer until it's hard. Cut the dough into 8mm thickness and bake. When the biscuits are done, sprinkle salt.

Cocoa biscuit

Flour 100g

Cocoa powder 15g

Butter 50g

Sugar 50g

Egg yolk 2

Baking powder 1/2 tsp

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºc. Cream butter and sugar together.

2. Add egg yolk and mix well.

3. Fold flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into 2.

4. Knead lightly until the mixture come together and smooth.

5. Wrap with cling film and rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 5mm thickness. Cut out the dough and place on a baking sheet.

7. Bake in the preheated (180ºc) oven for 15 minutes.

Icing sugar 50g

My favourite was the Almond ball biscuit. I can see myself making it again pretty soon! :D
