Hello everyone, I am Xiao Gaojie. Today we are going to make savory butter cookies.
Many recipes require room temperature butter
But you see this butter
It has been softened at the room temperature for three hours, still relatively hard
This is not good, need to be soften further
To make this butter cookies, the butter must be soft but not melted.
double boiler method has an advantage that the butter does not need to be softened at room temperature.
It can be cold directly from the refrigerator.
When the water starts to bubble and there is some steam coming up, turn the heat to the lowest
No need to bring to boil, a little bit of steam is enough
This is salted butter. If you use unsalted butter, add two grams of salt.
Icing sugar will make the texture of the cookie smoother
Very soon, the butter starts melting. When is about half melted, take it away from the heat
Continue to beat the butter
In fact, you can also use a microwave to heat it.
Just be careful, don't melt it completely.
Scrape the edge of the bowl with a spatula
together beat the butter for 3-4 minutes
Now it is very good. The butter is white, and it is very soft
Then add the flour in two times
Stir the dry powder at low speed and then high speed for one minute.
I use all purpose flour
Both all purpose flour and cake flour are OK
The gluten is formed when in contact with water, and the water content in this recipe is very minimal
Therefore, the flour with medium gluten or low gluten has little effect to the recipe
Prepare a green onion, chop it to very small pieces
If it is too big, the piping tip will be blocked. You will be too upset to cry with tears
Finally put the green onion and stir well
Use a scraper to fold together, you can also see the softness of this dough.
This is the piping tip
Put the dough into the piping bag
squeeze out the air
When you pipe the cookies, the piping tip is perpendicular to the baking sheet.
First squeeze the middle, then circle it
Double baking tray
During baking , the bottom of the cookie will quickly absorb heat from the baking tray.
And the bottom color will be too dark
This problem can be solved with double baking trays
Put in a preheated oven
Once the outer edge is colored, it is cooked.
It’s easy to overbake, you have to be careful
leave them in the baking tray, take out after cooled.
The pattern on the cookies is very clear after baking
it will not swell, nor the lines will fuse together
The color at the bottom is just right
This is the credit of the double baking trays
snap one and have a look
Very crisp
with flavor of green onions, plus butter
In the words of my neighbor
It sounds “shu”, and then melts in your mouth.
Thank you for watching, I am Xiaogao, I will see you next time:)
