Dry biscuits: Easy and economical recipe

Dry biscuits

Easy and economical recipe

I learned this recipe from my mom : it was my first cakes that I made at a young age ; a simple recipe for dry cookies, economical and quick to make, for breakfast, for an outing, for a children's party or even to taste it.

In Algerian society, when we are invited to have coffee and / or tea with friends, or with family members, we have taken the ply to take - with us - cookies or some sort of dessert or homemade cakes: and so the snack will be well stocked and delicious.

Recipe:

Ø  Ingredients:

·     100 g sugar;

·     1 teaspoon of orange zest (or lemon);

·     1 packet of baking powder;

·     1 pinch of salt ;

·     1 pinch of vanilla;

·     2 tablespoons ground peanuts, coconut, ground almonds….

·     1 egg ;

·     1 tablespoon softened butter (or margarine),

·     ½ glass of oil (about 70 ml)

·     1 tablespoon of honey (optional)

·     Flour to pick up.

 

Ø  Preparation:

1.     Turn the oven on 180 °;

2.     In a bowl / salad bowl put all the ingredients apart from the flour: mix well, by hand or with a whisk to have a homogeneous mixture;

3.     Gradually add the flour, until a nice firm dough is obtained;

4.     Form balls the size of an apricot, and place on a floured baking sheet;

5.     Bake for 20 minutes, monitoring the cooking;

6.     Take out of the oven; let cool and decorate your way. 

For girls - and even boys (why not) - who want to learn to cook and put their hands in the dough, this kind of recipe is made for them, and as Mrs. Barbara Costikyan said: "  In the memories of 'Every good cook's childhood is a large kitchen, a cooking stove, a baking cake and a mother'.

And enjoy your meal.
