Biscuit is the basic element in confectionery business- it is used as an independent dish and as an element of cakes, desserts.

A characteristic feature of a biscuit is an airy, porous structure that lends itself perfectly to impregnation and keeps its shape. How to bake fluffy biscuit, we will consider in this article.

Basics

By default, a biscuit consists of three products:

  • flour;
  • Sahara.

But, depending on the recipe or the preferences of the cook, the composition can be supplemented with flavors, oils, replace part of the flour with cocoa or nuts, and so on.

Despite the apparent simplicity, many housewives do not get a biscuit - it either does not rise or falls off after baking, resembling plasticine in consistency. We will study each ingredient separately in order to get a magnificent biscuit at the end, the recipe of which will not be difficult even for a beginner.

Eggs

This product provides airiness to your dish, so you should not neglect it.

So, in order for the biscuit to succeed, the eggs must be:

  • pre-cool;
  • beat in a completely fat-free bowl, avoiding drops of water;
  • hold the whisks at an angle - this way the mass will be enriched with air faster and better.

Flour

Works as a stabilizer, fixing and maintaining the shape of the biscuit so that it does not turn into a pancake after baking.

But consider the following:

  • Choose refined flours that are low in gluten. Luckily, our standard meal premium does its job very well.
  • Before adding flour to eggs, sift it 2-3 times. This measure will further enrich the mass with oxygen, so that at the end you will get a magnificent biscuit, while the recipe is secondary.
  • Be careful how you store flour. It should not be wet, as this will "kill" the biscuit. If in doubt, slightly dry the flour in the oven at 50 ° C and cool completely before using.

Sugar

In addition to the fact that this product gives the product the necessary sweetness, it also serves to stabilize the eggs - it is impossible to beat them into a strong foam without sugar. The main requirement for it is dryness. Wet sugar will ruin the whole dish.

elementary

Even novice cooks will be able to bake a fluffy biscuit for a cake or just a cake according to the recipe below.

Ingredients:

  • chicken eggs - 4 pcs.;
  • fine sugar - 120 grams;
  • flour - 120 grams;
  • flavoring to taste;
  • salt - 1 pinch.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Separate the whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with salt until fluffy, glossy foam. Continue beating, gradually adding sugar, until the latter is completely dissolved and the protein mass is strong and shiny. The required protein condition can be determined by slightly tilting the bowl - the proteins will remain motionless, not making attempts to "escape".

Continue beating while adding the egg yolks one at a time. You should get a thick sugar-egg mass with a slight yellowness. At this stage, you can already add flavoring. Moreover, the latter should not be on a fat basis, since a simple biscuit can lose some of its lightness from this.

Sift the flour into a bowl, mix gently by hand with a spoon or spatula, working from top to bottom, not in a circle. This method will allow you to keep all the air in the dough, obtained during whipping.

Put the resulting dough into a mold and bake until a test on a dry toothpick. Also, the readiness of the product can be determined by easily pressing the middle of the biscuit with your fingertips - it should spring easily.

Cool the product completely, wrap in cling film and let it "ripen" in the refrigerator or cupboard for 6-8 hours. This is necessary so that the moisture is evenly distributed over the cake, and it becomes soft, with a uniform, finely porous crumb.

Some secrets

In order for the biscuit to be a success, you should adhere to the following tips:

  • Do not grease the sides of the mold in which you plan to bake the biscuit. If they are slippery, then it will be difficult for the dough to cling to them in the process of growth, because of which it will not rise evenly, but with a hillock.
  • Bake the biscuit on baking paper, this will facilitate the process of removing it from the mold - for success it will be enough to run a thin knife along the sides.
  • One of the main problems in baking is falling off. finished product. In most cases, the initially fluffy biscuit (the recipe is successful and proven) forms a recess in the middle when cooled. To avoid this, cool it upside down directly in the mold on a wire rack.

Types of biscuits

In practice, there are a lot of biscuits, different in composition and method of creation:

  • "Angelic Biscuit". It does not include egg yolks, it is baked on the whites alone. At the exit, you get a delicate, airy cake, similar to foam. However, some find it too dry, so it is recommended to serve it as an independent dessert along with low-fat cream and berries.
  • Biscuit "La Gioconda". Delicate, tasty and plastic. The classic recipe is complemented by almond flour and butter. Of course, a fluffy biscuit for a cake will not work due to the abundance of fat in both nuts and butter, but it is ideal for a thin layer or roll.
  • Chocolate sponge cake without flour, which is replaced by dark chocolate and cocoa. According to its characteristics, it is similar to the Gioconda biscuit.

Areas of use

The basic cake recipe can be used to suit your needs and desires. For example, you can:

  • Replace 1/3 of the flour with ground nuts or cocoa. Thanks to this, you will get a nutty or chocolate biscuit respectively.
  • Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the dough and pour over 1 kg of peeled and finely chopped apples (preferably sour ones). That's it, traditional Apple pie Charlotte is ready.
  • During the baking process, blueberries (1 large handful) and grated lemon / lime zest (1 teaspoon) can be added to the magnificent biscuit, the recipe of which we gave above, which will allow you to get a berry pie.
  • Sponge dough is deposited in the form of small oblong cookies "Ladies' fingers", sprinkled with powdered sugar to obtain a crispy crust and bake. It turns out home version"savoyardi", without which not a single dessert "Tiramisu" can do.

I have never had such a tall biscuit!

Even when I baked a biscuit according to the classic recipe, where it is necessary to carefully separate the whites from the yolks, beat to the point of insanity ... this is not required here, which is very convenient, and the result exceeds the wildest aspirations!

In fact, the dough for this simple biscuit is prepared exactly the same way as for apple charlotte. Only the ingredients need twice as much.

And it turns out a tall, magnificent cake, from which you can build a huge cake for the whole family!

Another recipe for a very tasty, tender, fluffy biscuit appeared on the site - on starch, if you are interested, you can try both for comparison :)

Ingredients:

For a 24 cm form:

  • 6 eggs;
  • 1 cup of sugar;
  • 1 glass of flour;
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (or 1.5 tsp baking powder);
  • 1 tablespoon 9% vinegar or lemon juice.

Now the recipe is in video format! 😀

How to bake:

We break the eggs into a high bowl (it is not necessary to separate the yolks, as I already noted), pour a glass of sugar and beat with a mixer until a lush, light, thick mass is formed. It will take 1.5 - 2 minutes. Important! You need to beat, starting at the lowest speed of the mixer, gradually increasing it to the maximum: 1-2-3-4-5 ... (my mixer has 5 speeds, each half a minute or a little more). Look at the consistency of the foam, it should become thick, light, when traces of the mixer beaters begin to remain, that's enough :)

Here's how to beat the eggs for the biscuit dough:

Pour a spoonful of soda on top, extinguish it with vinegar and mix. Attention - update! I read an article where it says that soda should be mixed with dry foods (flour), and acid to extinguish it (vinegar, lemon juice) - with liquid ingredients. And extinguishing it in a spoon or on the surface of the dough is impractical, since all the carbon dioxide that creates bubbles goes into the air, and not into the dough. And since there are no liquid ingredients in this biscuit, except for eggs, I switched to baking powder in this recipe :) I mix it with flour and sift it all together into the dough.

Then gradually add a glass of sifted flour, carefully, but carefully mix with a spoon.

For clarity, here is a gif-image of how to properly mix the biscuit dough:

It is best to bake a biscuit in a detachable form, the bottom of which is covered with confectionery parchment or tracing paper, greased sunflower oil. It is most convenient to lay the paper on the bottom of the form, put on and fasten the sides, and then cut off the excess paper along the edge. Lightly grease the inner sides of the form too. vegetable oil so that the biscuit does not stick. But it is not necessary to lubricate too generously: the greasy walls of the mold can prevent the cake from rising.

Better yet, grease the mold with a thin layer of soft butter and sprinkle with flour. Fat will not allow the biscuit to stick, and the thinnest layer of flour will allow the biscuit dough to rise well, increasing the adhesion of the dough to the mold surface due to its texture.

Pour the dough into the mold. This is how a properly prepared biscuit dough pours: it spreads with a wide ribbon.

We put in the oven. The original recipe says to put it in a cold one, but I always put such a dough in an already well-heated oven. It seems to me that otherwise the cake will not fit. And I don't want to take risks and try something.

So, put the form in an oven preheated to 180C and bake at the same temperature until cooked.
And since the cake is high, it will take about 45-60 minutes. From time to time, you can slightly open the door and quietly look into the oven. If the cake is browning around the edges, and the middle is liquid - slightly reduce the heat so that the middle is baked. Just don’t turn it down sharply, otherwise the biscuit will “sit down”. If the cake looks ready, test it in the center with a wooden stick. Is there any dough left on it? Excellent - the biscuit is ready!

We take out the form from the oven, give the cake for 10 minutes to cool, then, carefully cutting the edges with a knife, open the form. We turn the cake over onto the lid of a large saucepan, quickly remove the paper from the bottom and turn it back onto the dish.

Chic tall biscuit is ready! When it has completely cooled down, ideally the next day, you can cut it with a sharp wide knife for 2-3 cakes, choose a cream and build a big delicious cake!

The simplest biscuit is good to serve as a delicious dessert, and also use it for cooking or cakes. About how to make such a delicacy, we will tell in the presented article.

Biscuit recipe step by step

Surely every housewife baked a biscuit at least once in her life. After all, such a product is prepared very easily and simply. If all the recommendations are followed, an incredibly lush, soft and ruddy cake is obtained, which no one is able to refuse.

It is advisable to bake the simplest biscuit for at least 60 minutes. After this time, it is checked for readiness. To do this, stick a dry toothpick into the product. If it remains clean (without sticky dough), then the cake is removed from the mold and placed on the cake stand.

Proper presentation of the product to the table

As you can see, the simplest biscuit is really prepared very simply and easily. After it cools a little in the form, it is cut into portioned pieces and laid out on saucers. Before serving, slices of the pie are poured over with condensed milk, liquid honey or soaked in sweet syrup. Use such a biscuit along with hot unsweetened tea.

Custard biscuit, cooked at home, turns out to be very lush and tender. To make it yourself, there is no need to purchase expensive components. After all, such a delicacy is prepared from very simple ingredients.

So, to make a quick choux pastry biscuit, we need:

  • sifted wheat flour - 1.3 cups;
  • baking soda - ½ dessert spoon;
  • medium-sized white sugar - 1 full glass;
  • raw large eggs - 2 pcs.;
  • sunflower oil - for lubrication of the form;
  • butter - 110 g;
  • low-fat milk - 100 ml.

Dough preparation

To prepare the custard base, low-fat milk and butter are slowly heated in a water bath, and then sifted white flour is added to them. After thoroughly mixing the ingredients, they are cooked until they thicken. At this time, the chicken yolks are ground together with medium-sized white sugar, and the whites are beaten to persistent peaks.

After the milky-creamy mass thickens, spread the sweet mass from the yolks to it and stir well. After keeping the products on the stove for about three minutes, they are taken out and cooled slightly. After that, proteins and slaked baking soda are laid out in the dishes. Whipping all the ingredients with a mixer, you get a rather lush cream-colored mass. Then immediately start baking it.

Heat treatment process

The simplest choux pastry biscuit can be baked both in the oven and in the slow cooker. We already used the first device in the previous recipe. Now I want to tell you how to cook such a dessert using the second one.

After kneading the base, it is completely laid out in the bowl of the device. To prevent the dough from sticking to the bottom of the dish during heat treatment, it is pre-lubricated with sunflower oil. Having laid out the base, it is closed and cooked in baking mode for a whole hour. If you are not sure that during this time the biscuit is completely baked, then it is recommended to check it with a toothpick. If the cake is damp, then it is kept in the heating mode for about 20 minutes. During this time, it will finally bake, become soft and lush.

Proper serving of homemade biscuit to the table

After preparing the custard biscuit, the multicooker is turned off and opened. In this form, the product is left for several minutes. Then it is carefully removed with a spatula or dumped onto a cake stand by turning the bowl over.

The finished biscuit is cut into portioned pieces and laid out on plates. Sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar first. It is also often covered with sour cream or butter cream. In this case, you will get very tasty and beautiful cakes.

By the way, if you want to make homemade, then you need to cut it in half (into 2 or 3 cakes), and then grease with cream and decorate with confectionery sprinkles. It is better to serve such a dessert to the table after a long exposure in the refrigerator.
