Danish hard biscuits

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   For this recipe, we prepare all the necessary products, measuring out the required amount.

2. STEP 2

   

   Now let's figure out how to bake Danish cookies? So, let's make the dough. Sift the flour. Add melted butter, sugar and lemon zest, grated on a fine grater. Before removing the lemon zest, you need to wash the lemon and keep it in boiling water for a while, so the zest will not taste bitter and will be easier to remove.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now mix everything thoroughly into crumbs using a spoon.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour milk into a glass or small deep bowl and beat in the egg. It is better to take a homemade egg, with a characteristic orange yolk - with such eggs any baked goods turn out much tastier. Mix everything well with a fork until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture. We begin to knead the dough with a spoon or silicone spatula until it thickens.

6. STEP 6

   

   Transfer the flour lump from the bowl to a work surface, which needs to be lightly dusted with flour. To do this, you can use a table or a silicone mat, which is very comfortable to work on. We continue kneading. We form a bun from the finished dough, cover it with cling film and let it rest for 20 minutes - any baking dough requires this.

7. STEP 7

   

   From the rested dough we form a sausage of medium diameter - the size of the cookies will depend on it. Divide it into medium-sized pieces, roll them into neat balls and sprinkle them with a little flour.

8. STEP 8

   

   Preheat the oven to 240 degrees, place the pieces on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes. After this time, take out the baking sheet and cut each ball into two halves. Place the cookies flat side down on the baking sheet again and bake for 20-30 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   We determine the readiness of the cookies by their rosy color. Sprinkle the still hot cookies generously with powdered sugar.

I really love Danish cookies and used to often buy them at the store. And then I came across this recipe. Now I make my favorite cookies myself. And it turns out no worse than store-bought and even tastier! Thanks to the author for the recipe!
