It is important to know how to prepare not only complex baked goods like cakes, muffins and croissants, but also to know simple biscuit recipes. This will help you quickly bake a delicious dessert for breakfast or for the arrival of unexpected guests.
In the past, there were no complex types of baking
.
All cakes were created based on simple ingredients baked in the oven. Basically, interesting and unusual desserts began to be prepared only in the Middle Ages. It used to be believed that the more sumptuous the cake, the richer the owner of the house.
But, we no longer live in the Middle Ages and this judgment does not work in relation to modern housewives.
Let’s prepare a simple biscuit for tea
.
Ingredients for the biscuit:
- egg – 1 pc;
- lemon – 1 pc;
- sugar – 150 g;
- milk – 200 g;
- vegetable oil – 100 g;
- leavening agent – 2 tsp;
- flour – 260 g.
Ingredients for the glaze:
- powdered sugar – 100 g;
- lemon juice – 2 tbsp;
- coconut shavings – 30 g.
Preparation of the biscuit:
Mix the eggs with the granulated sugar until the grits are dissolved. Pour milk and vegetable oil into the egg mixture, also pour in lemon juice. Grind
lemon on a fine grater – remove the zest
.
Add the zest to the egg mixture and stir. Combine the flour and baking powder, sift into the egg mixture and knead the dough.
Grease a baking dish with butter and cover the surface with parchment
.
Pour the dough into the baking mold, cook in the oven at 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
