TOOLKITS
MIXING BOWL, GRADUATED PITCHER, GROSS MESH SIFTER, GAUGING CUPS,
BAKING MATT, WHISK, MARISA (flexible spatula), PINOCCHIO (gauging
funnel), ICING BAG WITH CURLY NOZZLE
Ingredients
75 g milk
175 g butter
75 g sugar
1 g salt
1 vanilla bean
½ lemon grated rind
210 g flour for biscuits
65 g potato starch
2 g baking powder
80 g candied cherries (or granulated hazelnuts)
Method
By means of a planetary mixer equipped with the whisk, mix the
butter, sugar, spices and potato starch. Add in the milk with the
salt (dissolved). Blend well and stir in the flour previously
sifted twice together with the baking powder, processing at low
speed. Through the icing bag with curly nozzle, shape small roses
on the baking matt placed over a cake tin. If you so like, add a
decoration on the center of each biscuit placing on it candied
fruit, jam, granulated hazelnuts or almonds. Bake at 180 °C for 14
minutes at open valve. Ideal weight: 10 g. Bigger size biscuits
require too long to bake.
