Chef's Sourcing & Quality Tips:

  • Produce & Aromatics: Always use fresh whole aromatics and seasonal herbs rather than dehydrated powders when possible.
  • Cooking Oils: Utilize cold-pressed oils with appropriate smoke points such as extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
  • Salt & Seasoning: Season from a modest height above the pan to ensure an even, uniform crystalline dispersion.

Step-by-Step Culinary Masterclass

Follow these sequential steps with careful attention to sensory cues and cooking temperatures:

Step 1: Technique & Execution

added water 2 10 0.00 12 5 * These ingredients are not represented by accurate quantities

Step 2: Technique & Execution

The enrichment of high fat and/or high sugar recipes shown is given in Fig. 6.4

Step 3: Technique & Execution

Critical ingredients The particle size of the sugar may have a strong effect on the spread during baking

Step 4: Technique & Execution

The finer the particle size the more the dough will spread. (There are several other factors that affect the amount of spread during baking, see Manley.1) As there is generally insufficient water in the dough to dissolve all the crystal sugar the size of the undissolved sugar crystals will also affect the eating quality of the biscuit

Step 5: Technique & Execution

It may be desirable to have a gritty, crunchy biscuit with large sugar crystals but a fine sugar will give a smoother eating texture

Step 6: Technique & Execution

The fat and syrups will impart flavour
