Ingredients (Makes approx. 12 biscuits)- 270g cake flour (low-gluten flour)
- 6g baking powder
- 100ml milk
- 1 egg (whites only)
- 40g dried cranberries
- 1 egg (yolk mixed with 2 Tbsp milk for egg wash)
Dough Seasoning- 30g sugar
- 80g butter (softened at room temperature or lightly melted in microwave)
- 1 tsp salt
- 30g sugar
- 80g butter (softened at room temperature or lightly melted in microwave)
- 1 tsp salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by measuring out 270g of cake flour into a clean mixing bowl.
Step 2
Next, add 30g of sugar to the bowl with the flour.
Step 3
Sift 6g of baking powder over the flour and sugar mixture. Sifting ensures an even distribution and helps create a lighter, fluffier biscuit.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon of salt and use a whisk or spatula to thoroughly combine all the dry ingredients. Proper mixing is key for consistent results.
Step 5
Pour 80g of butter, which has been softened (either at room temperature or gently melted in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds), over the dry ingredients.
Step 6
Using a spatula or pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
Step 7
Prepare 40g of dried cranberries. Feel free to substitute with dried raisins or chocolate chips according to your preference.
Step 8
Separate 1 egg, keeping only the egg white for the dough. The egg yolk will be used later for the egg wash.
Step 9
Add 100ml of milk to the bowl and gently mix with a spatula until the ingredients just come together to form a soft dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can lead to tough biscuits. Mix only until no dry flour remains visible.
Step 10
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping them into your desired biscuit size. Aim for about 12 evenly sized biscuits.
Step 11
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the reserved egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of milk to create an egg wash. This will be brushed onto the tops of the biscuits.
Step 12
Gently brush the egg wash mixture evenly over the tops of each biscuit. This step will give them a beautiful golden-brown color and a lovely sheen after baking.
Step 13
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them.
Step 14
Look at that beautiful golden hue and shine from the egg wash on these freshly baked biscuits! They are sure to tempt your taste buds.
Step 15
Serve these warm biscuits with a dollop of sweet strawberry jam or a spread of creamy butter for the ultimate enjoyment. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk!
Step 16
Enjoy your delicious, homemade biscuits! We hope you have a wonderful time baking and savoring them. Bon appétit!
