This wonderful homemade cake is much more delicious when it is made at home!

Good appetite!!!

Biscuit is a versatile pastry for confectioners. Almost no cake can do without a biscuit, cakes and rolls are made from biscuit, used as a basis for any confectionery.

Lush, like a cloud, and quite dense, with butter and cream, with nuts and with carrots - they can be very different, but they are united by the cooking technology. Whatever the biscuit dough, for it you just need to beat the eggs (or separately the whites and yolks) and add the rest of the ingredients as carefully as possible. It is due to the air added during whipping that your biscuit will rise in the oven.

When baking a biscuit, two processes take place simultaneously. Firstly, the air in the dough heats up and, accordingly, expands, it makes the dough rise in the oven, that is, to increase in volume. Secondly, if there is enough heat (at a baking temperature of 180-200C), the walls of the growing pores are baked. Thus, to get the correct biscuit, you need to beat the eggs well, add as much air as possible, stir the dough, being careful not to lose the added air, and then bake it correctly at a sufficiently high temperature.

Before carefully studying the technology of Irina Chadeeva, we suggest watching the video recipe of the professional pastry chef Oleg Ilyin!


What are we baking from?

FLOUR

The biscuits are baked due to the starch gelatinization process - when heated in a wet dough, it changes its structure, becoming thicker and more viscous. Therefore, it is the presence of starch that is important for the biscuit, and, accordingly, it can be baked from almost any flour - rice, wheat, corn, buckwheat (any flour contains starch). If you replace part of the wheat flour with starch, the biscuit will be more durable and crumbly. You can bake a biscuit without flour at all, only on starch. But in nut flour (ground nuts) there is no starch, and therefore biscuits with nut flour are less durable and easily settle. Nevertheless, pastry chefs often make biscuits with nuts - it turns out very tasty!

EGGS

Without which, in principle, a biscuit cannot be baked - it is without eggs. It is the eggs that give it both splendor (when beaten) and strength (when baked). A well-beaten egg mass is the key to success when working with a biscuit.

SUGAR

For a biscuit, use regular sugar, preferably with small crystals. They dissolve faster, respectively, and eggs beat better with them.


Basic biscuit recipe

There are many options for biscuit, but it's worth starting with the simplest recipe, which, however, is no worse than the most complex ones. Remember the proportion:

4 eggs
120 g sugar
120 g flour
and no baking powder!

How to make a biscuit:

1. First, measure out all the ingredients. Sift flour (as well as starch, if you use) - it is saturated with air and then it is better stirred in the dough. Divide the eggs into whites and yolks (remember that cold eggs are best separated into whites and yolks), using a large bowl for whites and medium in size for yolks.

Please note that the biscuit molds and trays must be prepared in advance, and the oven must also be preheated in advance. When the biscuit dough is ready, it must be immediately transferred to a mold (on a baking sheet) and baked without wasting time. The biscuit dough settles quickly, and the finished products from the settled dough are low and dull.

2. Pour half of the sugar into the yolks and beat with a mixer at maximum speed until they are thick, almost white.

3. Wash and dry the beaters and beat the whites at full speed until the mixture is white and thick. Mixer attachments should leave a clear, non-spreading mark. Only now add the remaining sugar and beat on until the mass becomes snow-white and shiny.

4. Add the yolks to the whites and stir very gently with a spoon until the mixture becomes homogeneous, light yellow in color.

How to mix correctly? Take a spoon and dip the side into the middle of the bowl. Pass the convex part of the spoon along the bottom (towards you), then up the side of the bowl, continue moving over the dough and again lower the spoon in the middle. The spoon will describe a circle. Repeat this movement while turning the bowl with your other hand. Thus, all types of biscuit (and other whipped) dough are quickly and accurately mixed. This method is called the "folding method".

5. Add flour and other dry ingredients. Stir again by folding. Do not stir for too long, as the dough may thicken too much.

As soon as the lumps of flour have disappeared, stop. Transfer the dough to a mold, flatten the surface and place in the oven.

What to add?

Butter is often added to the biscuit. To do this, melt it, cool it and pour it in as carefully as possible. Even a small amount of butter makes the crumb more tasty and moist, biscuits with butter do not stale longer.


How to prepare a form?

There are several ways to prepare the tins and bake the biscuit. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it doesn't matter in what form you bake, and sometimes it matters.


Method number 1

Lubricate the inside of the mold with softened butter (the melted butter will drip off and you won't get an even coating). Pour in a spoonful of flour and, shaking the mold, distribute the flour first along the sides of the mold, and then along the bottom. Tap the mold well to sprinkle the excess flour out.

With this method, the biscuit does not stick to the bottom and walls of the mold at all. After baking for 5–10 minutes, the biscuit cools down and slightly decreases in size, while a small gap appears between the wall of the form and the biscuit, and a small slide remains on the biscuit. Turn the biscuit over onto the wire rack, it can be easily removed, while the slide will be at the bottom, and the top will be completely flat.

DISADVANTAGE: when using this method, the biscuit is slightly lower.


Method number 2

Do not grease the baking dish, but cover the bottom with baking paper.

When baking, the biscuit will stick to the walls, but when you take out the mold, it will also settle. Since the walls cannot settle (they are stuck), the “pea” will settle, thus, when the cake cools down, the surface of the biscuit will become even. The biscuit is taken out of the mold only when it has completely cooled down. To do this, you need to very carefully run a knife along the walls, separating the biscuit, and remove the form. Remove the baking paper before using the biscuit.

DISADVANTAGE: in order to separate the biscuit from the walls, skill and accuracy are needed; silicone molds cannot be used.


Method number 3

Do not grease the dish or place baking paper on the bottom.

This method is suitable for the lightest and most delicate biscuits, which settle under their own weight as they cool. These are biscuits with a small amount of flour and starch, as well as protein biscuits. Usually they are recommended to be cooled upside down - for this, immediately after baking, the mold is turned over and placed on bowls so that the biscuit does not touch them. In this position, the bottom and sides of the biscuit are glued to the mold, it does not fall out, but it also does not settle under its own weight. Please note that in this case, it is important to choose the correct size of the form so that the biscuit does not turn out above the edges and can be turned over.

DISADVANTAGE: sometimes it is difficult to separate the biscuit from the mold; silicone molds are not suitable for such baking.


Bakery products

Always preheat the oven to a temperature of 180-200 ° C in advance. It is advisable to bake biscuits on the middle level of the oven; convection can be used. Try not to open the oven for the first 15 minutes of baking to keep the air cool. You can check the readiness of the biscuit 25-30 minutes after the start of cooking. Ready biscuit - always with a uniform slide, golden brown in color. Pierce it in several places (closer to the middle) with a toothpick, there should be no dough stuck on it. You can also press with your palm, the finished biscuit is elastic and durable.

IMPORTANT!

To prevent the biscuit from getting soaked during impregnation, to be strong and elastic, it is advisable to let it lie down for several hours. For cakes, I usually bake a sponge cake in the evening and leave it in the kitchen overnight. Please note that the biscuit should not dry out - for this, if the air in the kitchen is dry, you can put the biscuit in a bag after it has cooled completely.

How to cut a biscuit?

One four-egg sponge cake baked in a 20 cm diameter pan can usually be cut into three cakes. Use a few simple tricks to keep your cuts straight and the cakes consistent in thickness.

Lay the sponge cake upside down - it is very flat and your cake will be flat on top too. It is convenient to use a sheet of baking paper, a flat plate or wire rack as a substrate, the main thing is that you can easily rotate the cake along with the base. Prepare a knife - it is highly desirable that it is sharp, with a blade that is longer than the diameter of the biscuit. A bread knife with a wavy blade works very well.

Using a knife, mark the cut lines about 1 cm deep around the circumference of the biscuit.

Insert the knife into the notch and cut, carefully turning the biscuit and pressing the knife against the bottom cake, it should go exactly along the marked line.


Problems?

  1. Too thin dough - whites or yolks are not beaten well, the dough has been stirring for too long;
  2. The biscuit does not rise well - the dough was stirred for a long time, the eggs were not beaten well, the oven was too cold;
  3. The sponge cake is heavily donkey after baking - the dough is poorly baked, there is little flour or starch;
  4. Biscuit donkey in the oven - oven too hot;
  5. The biscuit crumbles heavily - too much starch.

Homemade sponge cake is many times tastier than the one purchased in the store. After all, it is made with love, saturated with the warmth of your hands and without any doubt does not contain unacceptable additives and harmful impurities. It will not be difficult to issue one, especially if the correct recommendations and proportions of the components are at hand.

Do not use brown sugar to make the biscuit, just plain sugar or powdered sugar will do.

All the ingredients that make up the biscuit must have the same temperature, so you should take out the food from the refrigerator at least an hour before cooking.

Do not use more sugar than necessary, the excess of this product can make the dough heavier and the biscuit will not turn out fluffy and fluffy.
