Today I immediately selected 4 of the best recipes for making lush, tall, soft and fragrant homemade biscuits - classic (vanilla), poppy, chocolate and very beautiful biscuit - “red velvet” (in the photo below - just a cake with such a biscuit).

Tell me, dear reader, how do you feel about biscuits? Good? How are they for you? If mutual love and agreement with this fastidious type of pastry baking reigns in your kitchen, I can only be happy for you!

I didn’t have a relationship with him from the very beginning ... Sometimes there were successful attempts, but they were so rare that they weren’t worth mentioning ... Most often, instead of a tall, lush classic biscuit, I got something obscure and unconvincing ... Of course, any failure can be abundantly soaked in delicious cream, decorated better, and the cake will be joyfully destroyed by hungry guests and homemade ones, simply because a homemade cake is ALWAYS tastier than a store-bought one. Maybe no one will even notice your jambs, but the sediment will remain ...

But a biscuit is the basis for delicious cakes and pastries, how can you cook them poorly?

Popular beginner mistakes when making homemade classic biscuit.

Having shoveled a dozen recipes and videos from experienced housewives who make lush biscuits “on the count of times”, I made several important conclusions - how to cook a biscuit without mistakes. I'll be happy to share with you!

So the errors are:

  • We cook from products of different temperatures - it turns out that it is important to "balance in temperature" all the products that will be used
  • We do not follow the recipe - we take fewer eggs or put more flour, we take the products “by eye”, and do not weigh them ...
  • My typical mistake, as it turned out, is that I never sift flour! It turns out that this is very important for getting a magnificent biscuit - it is better to sift the flour not even once, but several times, so we saturate it with oxygen.
  • Beating eggs together is a mistake, although I have seen such recipes. Still, according to the classics, you need to separate the whites from the yolks and beat them separately, with a clean whisk, without mixing
  • Baking dish not prepared. I always cook the pan the right way - oil the bottom and sides, sprinkle with a little flour, or line with parchment for baking, so this mistake is not about me ...
  • Oven temperature: an error if you put a biscuit in an unheated oven. And a mistake, if you open the oven door before 20 minutes have passed from the start of baking - the dough may settle and no longer rise!

With this in mind, we will proceed to our wonderful biscuits.

Classic biscuit with vanilla

Let's start, of course, with the classics. Anyone who wants to can cook a fluffy, soft and fragrant classic biscuit of 4 eggs - it is important to do everything according to the recipe, following the steps and measuring the components for the biscuit dough strictly according to the recipe.

  • Flour 120 gr.
  • Sugar 175 gr.
  • Egg 4 pcs.
  • Vanillin 1 sachet

  1. First of all, we will separate the yolks from the proteins, I hope you know how to carry out this simple procedure. We break the egg with one blow so that the shell cracks almost to the middle. Over the bowl, carefully break the two halves and drain the protein, throwing the yolk from one half of the shell to the other. You can simply pour the whole egg (whole, make sure that the yolk does not spread!) into a bowl and gently pick it up with a large spoon and put it in another bowl.
  2. It is believed that in no case should the yolk get into the protein bowl, even in a small amount, otherwise, they say, the proteins will not whip into a strong foam ... I don’t know for sure whether this is true, but I always try to break eggs over a separate bowl, and not over the general one, so that in which case, not to spoil all the proteins at once ...
  3. As already mentioned - the flour must be sifted without fail, and even - several times. This will give our biscuit extra splendor.
  4. We begin to beat the whites in a bowl at medium speed, gradually adding sugar in small portions. Whites are also whipped by hand, it just takes longer. And yet - it is advisable to take fresh eggs, and not old ones - they beat better.
  5. We stop whipping when a thick foam appears, so thick that if we turn the bowl upside down, our protein mass will not fall out anywhere, but will remain in the bowl! They also say "beat until stable peaks." This, you must understand, is such frozen cones that form on the beater, if you take it out of the bowl - our protein foam will stand like a stake on this very beater. From such a good foam you can bake meringue!
  6. Now put the oven on preheat - about 180-190 degrees.
  7. In the whites with sugar already whipped to the desired consistency, add 4 yolks - one at a time, continuing to beat.
  8. Now we will remove the whisk (or mixer) and arm ourselves with a spatula - we will gently and gently mix our mass with it, slowly adding flour and vanillin to it. Even in the photo you can see what an airy dough we got! This means that the biscuit will be lush and tall, the main thing is not to mess it up when baking.
  9. Lubricate the form and sprinkle with flour, if required for this form. Her sides should be high - the biscuit will greatly increase in height! If there is no high, cook from 2 parts on two different forms, but at the same time. Since this type of dough must be baked immediately after cooking, so as not to settle.
  10. We put in the oven for 25-30 minutes at 185 degrees.

  11. Leave the hot biscuit in the form until it cools completely. If necessary, cut a little from the sides with a sharp knife so that the biscuit is better separated from the walls.
  12. We did not use any baking powder for the dough, and the dough rose by almost 5 cm - an excellent result! A cake of this height can even be cut into 3 parts, and not into two, as usual.
  13. But first he needs to be allowed to settle. Wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.

Such a properly infused biscuit will be easy to cut, almost meringue crumbs. This is what it looks like on a cut. Great result, right?

Very spectacular and beautiful biscuit - "Red Velvet"

For this unusual cake, we will have to use food coloring. I don’t really like this kind of additives, but I really liked the look of this biscuit - I have never seen anything like it! In my environment, too, no one ate such a cake, so those who like to surprise and like to treat with something original can use this recipe. Moreover, I will show everything step by step, with a photo, as it should be 🙂

What products are needed:

  • 110 gr. butter
  • 110 gr. corn oil (other is possible, the main thing is odorless)
  • 340 gr. flour
  • 10 gr. cocoa
  • 350 gr. Sahara
  • 2 eggs (100 gr.)
  • 230 gr. milk or kefir
  • 7 gr. baking powder
  • Red food coloring - we select the amount by color, if the dye is in the form of a gel, then no more than 10 gr.

This type of biscuit has not only a bright unusual bright color (and looks very impressive in any cakes), but also a bright pleasant taste.

Step by step work plan:

  1. Cut butter at room temperature into pieces and begin to mix with powdered sugar. Here we also add another type of oil - vegetable refined (so that there is no smell), you can corn.

  2. 2. Beat until airy. Due to the addition of vegetable oil, the mass turns out to be a little watery, but still the butter will give the necessary splendor. We begin to add eggs (pre-beat them with a fork) - pour in a thin stream into the bowl, continuing to beat.
  3. 3. Now mix all the dry ingredients and sift them through a sieve. Flour, baking powder and alkalized cocoa powder. This type of cocoa powder has a rich chocolate flavor. But if you have a different type of cocoa powder - just increase its volume by 10-15 grams, and flour - on the contrary, reduce by the same amount.
  4. 4. Now is the time to put the oven on preheat - 150 degrees.
  5. 5. Now, continuing to beat the bulk, we alternately introduce milk and a dry mixture with flour. At the same stage, add the dye - if it is dry, you can dilute it in milk, or you can add it to the dry mixture.

  6. 6. In the photo - added dye in the form of a gel. It also needs to be added "by eye", adding in parts and tracking the color of the dough, but not more than 10 grams of gel.
  7. 7. The color should turn out to be about this saturation. The only thing to keep in mind is that when baking in the oven, the color will become less saturated than in raw dough.
  8. 8. It is better not to bake this volume of dough in one form - it may not bake well due to the characteristics of the dough. It is best to distribute the entire volume into 3 forms (diameter 21 cm). But keep in mind that you will have to bake them at the same time so that the dough does not fall off. If this does not work out, for example, you have only one form, then it is better to knead each portion of the dough again before baking.
  9. 9. We set to bake for about 30-35 minutes at a temperature of 150 degrees. The readiness of the biscuit is easy to check with a dry wooden stick (or match) - if we pierce

    10. We have 3 lush cakes - cut each in half and get 6 cakes. We will use one of them for sprinkling, so we break it into pieces and send it to dry additionally in the oven at 110 degrees for an hour.

11. Any butter cream goes well with this biscuit. Here's a beauty you can do -

Lush and fragrant biscuit with poppy seeds

Poppy biscuit has many cooking options. Sometimes it can turn out to be somewhat “heavy” ... But this recipe for poppy seed biscuit is chosen so that its structure is very tender and soft, while it is quite saturated with poppy seeds, which always gives the dough a unique taste and aroma. For this, in fact, he is so loved by many.

I also adore poppy seeds, since childhood, when my mother cooked a gorgeous poppy seed roll for the holidays. And by the way, we grew poppies ourselves in the garden, and it was very large, incredibly tasty in any pastry!

But I digress, let's continue. For this poppy seed biscuit recipe, we need the following:

products:

  • 90 gr. flour
  • 50 gr. dry poppy
  • 120 gr. Sahara
  • 4 eggs (200 gr.)
  • 20 gr. milk
  • 2 gr. baking powder
  • 20 gr. corn oil
  • 30 gr. cornstarch

  1. First, grind the poppy seeds in a blender so that it fully reveals its aroma and taste in baking. Many people advise pre-rinsing the poppy seeds well in cold water and drying them completely before adding them to the biscuit dough (if the poppy seeds are wet, the biscuit may not rise). But I usually remember these recommendations already being "in the process" and therefore almost always just take a poppy from the package.

  2. Sift the flour several times through a sieve and mix with crushed poppy seeds.
  3. Don't forget to preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
  4. Eggs should be at room temperature so they beat easier. Start beating at medium speed and add a pinch of salt.
  5. Continuing to beat, add sugar in small portions. When half the sugar has already been added, increase the whipping speed and add the remaining sugar in one portion. Beat until our egg mass becomes airy and increases in volume by almost three times.
  6. In a tightly beaten egg mass in two or three additions, add a mixture of flour and poppy seeds. But we already stir everything very carefully, with a spatula, in manual mode, so as not to disturb the splendor and lightness of the mass and, ultimately, get an airy dough and a magnificent biscuit.
  7. Mix milk with vegetable oil and add to the dough. Also gently mix with a spatula from the bottom up.
  8. We shift the dough into a high form, level the surface. You can additionally slightly twist the form so that it is filled denser and more evenly.

We bake for 35-40 minutes at a temperature of 160 degrees. Check readiness with a wooden skewer - if dry, the biscuit is ready. Turn the form over and leave to cool in this form. Look what a beautiful, tall and soft biscuit we got. The height of this cake is 6.5 cm. If you do not smear it right away, then you need to wrap the biscuit in a film and put it in the refrigerator.

Chocolate biscuit with natural chocolate

The biscuit according to this recipe turns out to be "very chocolate", fantastically tasty! To be honest, it was a surprise for me that you can add not ordinary cocoa powder to the dough for chocolate cake, but real chocolate, from a melted chocolate bar. Apparently, this explains such a distinct taste of chocolate. Probably, for everyone's favorite legendary cake "Prague", just such a biscuit will give the best result.


For the chocolate biscuit, take:

  • 100 gr. flour
  • 100 gr. butter
  • 100 gr. Sahara
  • 4 eggs
  • 100 gr. chocolate (preferably bitter, with a high cocoa content)
  • 20 gr. vanilla sugar
  • 10 gr. baking powder

Step by step recipe for chocolate biscuit

  1. First things first, put the oven on preheat - 180 degrees.

2. Sift the flour together with the baking powder.

3. Mix room temperature butter with vanilla sugar until smooth.

4. Separate the yolks from the proteins.

5. Break the chocolate bar into pieces and place in a container over boiling water - in a water bath. Then cool the chocolate to about 28 degrees (when the mass is still liquid) and add to the butter. Knead.

6. Add the yolks one by one to the chocolate mass, constantly mixing thoroughly.

7. Whip the whites to persistent "peaks", into a thick, dense foam.

8. Combine flour and chocolate mass - in several steps, mixing thoroughly each time.

9. Add the protein mass - in parts, constantly stirring the dough. The dough is airy.

10. Immediately lay out in the prepared form, align. For some reason, I often meet questions (more precisely, requests) “how to make a high chocolate biscuit with a diameter of 28 cm so that it is not flat.” 28 cm is a very large mold diameter, you need to take a lot of eggs and other ingredients for such a dough, and there is a high probability that the dough will not rise ... There are two options here. The first is to make 2 or 4 low cakes, each time making a new dough batch just before baking (because biscuit dough containing a lot of liquid can give sediment to the bottom layer and therefore bake poorly in large volumes). The second option is to bake biscuit single-layer rectangular cakes on a sheet (4 pcs.), And then cut them out with a cutter knife in a shape with a diameter of 28 cm. You can already assemble a high chocolate cake of large diameter from them.

11. Send to the oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees.

12. Here we have such a chocolate “handsome biscuit”!

And how fragrant it is, it magically smells of chocolate, probably, this is the smell that reigns in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory 🙂

Moist biscuit - ideal with hot chocolate, tea, coffee and soft drinks. This is the perfect treat for guests at home!

I found this cocoa biscuit on a Polish site, it is also called a thrown biscuit. This name was given to him, because after baking it needs to be thrown down, but first things first. So everyone gets a biscuit! Therefore, talk about what I did not work out is not accepted. Please follow the recipe and you will succeed! And no baking powder or starch. Thanks for the recipe Natalie M.

So, let's prepare the ingredients according to the list. All ingredients must be weighed on the scales, not any by eye.

Separate the whites and yolks. Let's beat the whites.

Beat the whites for 5 minutes. Add sugar by a spoonful. Proteins should be whipped to such peaks.

Now, while continuing to beat, add the eggs one at a time. After beating a little more, we will add flour. To do this, mix it with cocoa and sift everything into our mixture. We sprinkle everything in parts. I did this in 4 sets.

At the same time, mix everything with a spatula from top to bottom, folding, as it were, dough.

Let's prepare the form, I have it with a diameter of 24 cm. Cover the bottom of the form with baking paper. We do not lubricate the form with anything. We transfer the mass. The oven must be turned on beforehand. Set to bake at 170 degrees for 40 minutes.

We check the biscuit with a toothpick, if it is dry, then it is ready.

And now the most interesting. We take out the form with the biscuit from the oven and turn it over like this. Raise it 50 cm above the table and throw it down on the table. Yes, yes, we will quit and there is no need to be afraid. I do it for the 2nd time and it works.

Then we also put it on the wire rack immediately and let it cool in this form for 4-5 hours.

After 5 hours, I removed the form with a knife. This is how he turned out. Enjoy your meal!
