• Epices: choose any pain flavor you like, cannelle, gingembre, etc.

Preparation: Step-by-step guide

Step 1

Prepare a large bol; then melangez the beurre mou and the sucre until you get a consistency creative! Watch how the texture gently changes. You’ll see it create a creamy, viscous paste. Pro tip: make sure your bol is clean brushed. Chef’s tip: use a slow, even hand to ensure the paste’s fabric remains stable.

Step 2

Add the œuf and the sucre vanillé now. Then battez them together with the paste, until the blend is homogène. This step is crucial for the biscuits’ texture later. Pro tip: if paste seems too light, maybe add a little more sucre. Chef’s tip: let the paste cool a few seconds between blends.

Step 3

In another récipient, tamisez the farine, levure chimique, sel, and your chosen epices. Gather those ingredients in a second container. Watch as they melt slowly with the paste, adjusting gently. The aromas will begin to scent lightly. Pro tip: if using multiple epices, note they can scent early.

Step 4

Now incorpíor progressively the second mélange into the first cremeux, remuant well until you form a palete lisse. Here, blending goes smoothly if you do it slowly. Use a firm hand. Pro tip: don’t rush mixing. Chef’s tip: let the ingredients slowly mix under a rotatingly fashion.

Step 5

Découpez: prechauffez your four to 180C. Prepare your baking dish to heat the paste up to 180 degrees Celsius. Use a thermostat carefully; do not overshoot. Pro tip: if you don’t have the exact temp, aim for 175–185C, but stable. Chef’s tip: for a quicker baking, you could raise to 185C.

Step 6

On a surface légally farined, étalez the pale to an epaisseur of about 5 mm. Spread the paste over a baking surface. Make sure it’s even, and not too thin. The texture will be crélly smooth. Pro tip: using a syringe brush here could help.

Step 7

Take the molding time: découpez forms to theide demporte-pièces. Place these on a plaque recouverte of papier sulfurised. This step ensures biscuits have proper place. Chef’s tip: you could also use dichotomically pieces for more pattern.

Step 8

Enfournez biscuits in baking dish for 10–12 minutes, or until they slightly doré. Let the baking occur with gentle light. The biscuits will start to scent and smell great. Pro tip: don’t exceed 12 minutes at first attempt.

Step 9

Let them refroidir on grille before déguster. This is crucial! Let biscuits rest for at least 5 minutes to ensure proper texture final.

Timing overview

Let’s break down times needed:

• Prep time: 15 minutes – for setting ingredients and blending.
• Cooking time: 12 minutes – baking on dish to final shape.
• Resting time: 5 minutes on grille for biscuits to settle.
• Total time: about 32 minutes altogether.

Chef’s secret

Here’s my chef secret: before step 2, when adding œuf, preheat it slightly. A quick swirl in a pro dish for 2 seconds makes œuf blend smoother. This tiny trick saved me 3 minutes of baking later and made biscuits more uniform.

Extra info

Did you know? Originally, biscuits were baked using oily materials; our recipe uses modern baking-friendly materials, safer for homes. This recipe was first discovered in an old cookbook from 1890; it got rescripted in 1920 but now updated.

Necessary equipment

To prepare, you’d need:

• A large bol (or baking dish).
• A small récipient (or another dish).
• A surface farined preferably quartz-like.
• A thermostat.
• A demporte-piece set.
• A grille to rest biscuits after baking.

Storage of biscuits Noël

Store biscuits in a cool, dry place. Use a closed container, so biscuits don’t evaporate moisture. I store mine in a dedicated biscuit box, sealed with parchment.

You could also store biscuits inside a baking dish, but ensure dish is clean. For long storage, you might protect biscuits with parchment wrap each biscuit.

If you wish to store them on plaque, ensure plaque is sulfurised. Avoid storing them in hot environments; biscuits may start tasting altered.

Tips and advice

Some quick tips:

• Don’t over-rush blending; don’t undertime baking.
• When baking, watch for any scenting; if it’s too early, adjust epices.
• Always clean dishes before each recipe cycle.
• Make sure ingredients are fresh each time you bake.
• If biscuits seem lightly heavy, reblend them once more before baking.

Presentation tips

Here some ideas for presentation:

• Use a decorated dish with parchment on it.
• Label each biscuit with a great smile: icing.
• Present biscuits atop a smooth surface for guests to see.
• If sharing, wrap them in a nice baking dish.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake 1: Overheating the baking dish

Many cooks mistakenly set dish temp too high, beyond 180C. This can cause biscuits to bake too quickly, losing texture. To avoid, use a thermostat carefully. Pro tip: start at 175C and then raise gradually if needed.

Mistake 2: Insufficient blending time

Rushing steps 1–4 faster than needed can lead to inhomogeneous biscuits. Biscuits then taste irregularly. Remember, blending takes about 5–7 minutes alone.

Mistake 3: Using old ingredients

Old ingredients, especially farine or sucre, can change biscuits’ aroma badly. Always use fresh within last 2 weeks. Pro tip: store ingredients in clean dishes.

Mistake 4: Neglecting the resting phase

After baking, biscuits need resting on grille. Skipping may lead to partial melting later. Give them at least 5 minutes rest.

Mistake 5: Incorrect placement on plaque

Place biscuits on plaque incorrectly (too close, too empty) can create congestion. Leave a little space between each biscuit.
