SAVOY BISCUITS
THE RECIPE OF IGINIO MASSARI
TOOLKITS
MIXING BOWL, EGG SEPARATOR, MARISA (flexible spatula), CITRUS
GRATER, ICING BAG WITH PLAIN NOZZLE, SIFTER, SILICONE MATT, SUGAR
SIFTER, GLOVE
Ingredients
100 g egg yolks (5 egg yolks)
65 g sugar
½ vanilla bean,
½ lemon grated peel
150 g egg albumen, (5 egg whites)
60 g sugar.
60 g superfine flour
50 g potato starch
Method
In a bowl blend 1/3 of previously whipped egg albumen with the
already beaten yolks, mixing with a Marisa by gently stirring in
vertical circles, then blend in half of the sifted flour and the
potato starch, stir-in another third of the egg whites and then
the remainder of flour and potato starch; complete with the
remaining albumen. The blended mass should appear shiny, soft and
lightweight. Place the baking matt on a baking tray and, using the
icing bag with plain nozzle, shape 8 centimeters long sticks,
dredge them with granulated sugar through a sifter, then dust them
with a thin layer of powdered sugar. Immediately bake at 210 °C
for 12 minutes at open valve. The Savoy biscuits will present a
beautiful light, golden brown colour.
(Optional)
A little extra cooking (two more minutes) will create a biscuit
that can be stored for thirty days if locked in an airtight box
set in a fresh environment.
