Corn biscuit

To prepare fluffy corn biscuit, take corn flour (precisely small grinding), chicken eggs (45-50 grams each) and granulated sugar. These are three main and mandatory ingredients. I also added a crushed orange zest to a biscuit dough, which is why I only won the finished pastries. If you do not want, you can not add it. The butter will be needed to lubricate the multicooker bowl.

We take the dishes suitable for the preparation of biscuit dough — preferably not very small. Pour sugar sand into it and add 1 large orange chopped on a fine grater. The zest is the thinnest layer of the peel of bright orange, which is removed without affecting the white layer (it is it that gives bitterness and can spoil the finished dish with this).

Ripe sugar with orange zest using a whisk, spoon or plug — thus, most of the essential oils will be released, which will become a natural flavor for the future corn biscuit. Chicken eggs are thoroughly, wiped dry and separate the proteins from the yolks. The squirrels are so far in a separate dishes, and add the yolks to flavored sugar. Do not see that I have so many yolks: in one tray there were 3 eggs with two yolks (by weight 2 pieces as one ordinary).

Beat everything actively with a whisk or mixer at high speed, until the mass is much increased in volume, and the sugar crystals are practically dissolved — the stationary mixer copes with 6-7 minutes. In consistency and texture, egg yolks beaten with sugar resemble condensed milk.

Now it's time to do egg proteins. We will whip them in a separate bowl, which should be completely clean and dry. We begin to whip the proteins with a mixer at low speed, and when large bubbles appear (it means we have already broken the structure of the protein), we gradually increase the speed to the middle one. When the proteins turn into a fine -grained muddy foam, we make maximum turns and beat to a dense snow -white mass. Well -beaten egg whites should keep the shape well and not move. This degree of whipping proteins is called «solid peaks.»

We sift corn flour to the sweet yellow mass to additionally saturate it with oxygen, and add about a quarter of whipped egg proteins. By the way, a few words about how you can do a biscuit dough (besides how I showed in this recipe). The first option: chicken eggs are beaten with sugar, after which flour is administered. Second: the yolks are beaten with part of sugar, proteins — with the remaining sugar. Whipped yolks are connected to whipped proteins, after which flour is added. And another option: everything, as in the second, only flour is inserted into the yolks, after which whipped proteins are added. All of them have the right to be, and in all cases, the biscuits are remarkable. You can knead the dough as it is more convenient for you: the main thing is to maximize the airiness of the dough before baking.

From theory to practice … Mix the whole tablespoon or spatula so that the flour is moistened. The dough is quite dense — it should be so. In parts, we introduce whipped proteins into the corn base. Add the next portion when the previous one completely intervenes in the dough. The movements should be clear, neat, but quite fast, since the biscuit dough does not like to wait long.

Here is such an air and fluffy dough for corn biscuit. In no case, never connect the proteins with the base using a mixer — only with a spoon, spatula or, finally, with your hand.

Since we will prepare a corn biscuit in a slow cooker, lubricate the bowl with any refined vegetable or butter (this time I used the butter). We lay out a biscuit dough into it and turn on the baking mode. Time — 50 minutes. Depending on the power and volume of your assistant, the baking time may differ from the specified!

The readiness of the biscuit is checked either visually or using a wooden skewer (toothpick). If it comes out of the dough, then the pastries are ready — this technique is called «check for dry beam.» I leave the biscuit in a bowl for 10 minutes to relax — during this time he himself easily moves away from the walls.

Using an insert for preparing food, we take out a ready -made biscuit with corn flour. First, just lower the insert into the bowl.

Then we turn the entire structure on the table.

We remove the bowl — the corn biscuit is on the insert for the double boiler.

Here is such a ruddy, fluffy and sunny handsome man — in height it is about 6.5-7 centimeters. If you want to make a homemade cake with him, let the biscuit stand for several hours so that he does not crumble when cutting into the cakes.

We love the corn biscuit just with milk or tea. Prepare for health, friends, and pleasant to you appetite!
