Composition / ingredients
Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare the necessary ingredients for making shortbread cookies.
Step 2:
Melt butter to a liquid state on fire.
Step 3:
Mix eggs, sugar and baking powder thoroughly, beat with a fork until light foam.
Step 4:
Combine the melted butter and egg mixture with flour. And knead the dough.
Step 5:
The dough should turn out like this. It should be more dense than for a recipe without a meat grinder.
Step 6:
Then take a meat grinder, only without a knife. And we will pass our dough through a nozzle with holes of medium diameter. You can substitute a baking sheet with parchment directly under the meat grinder, so that it is more convenient to spread cookies.
Step 7:
Put the resulting cookies in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. Cookies are baked for about 20-30 minutes. It should be lightly browned and emit a pleasant aroma.
Step 8:
This is the cookie I got.
I present to your attention a very simple shortbread recipe from childhood.
It turns out that the classic shortbread dough is made by rubbing butter into small pieces and mixing with flour into crumbs.
And in this recipe, by passing the dough through a meat grinder, this is not necessary, since in the process of passing the dough through this device, it is saturated with air and becomes crispy.
You can also add either vanilla or cinnamon to the dough if desired, which will also give an even more refined flavor to your baking.
It is necessary to get used to scrolling the dough through a meat grinder. You may need help if the meat grinder is mechanical, like mine, so that someone turns the meat grinder, and you "catch" the future cookies with one hand and push the dough into the meat grinder with the other hand. With the shape of cookies, too, everything is ambiguous. You can just wait until the "vermicelli" of the desired length come out and pinch off the dough or cut it off with a knife. I preferred to pinch off with my hands and crumple at the edges. It seems to me that it looks more neat and beautiful this way. You can make different flowers. In general, there is room for creativity.
Bon appetit!
