dailydelicious thai: Almond Snowball: Boule de neige biscuits

Today comes with fragrant cake, crumbly texture, enjoy eating

This is another idea I got from going to Taiwan. Because in the cake box purchased from the cake shop there is a Boule de neige or Snowball cake.

Usually we see cookies. The snowball is round. then coat with thick icing sugar But the store I bought it, he doesn't make lumps. And then there's the little bit of icing. making the taste not too sweet But more important than the shape is the very fragrant butter and almond cake. and cookie dough It's also very crumbly. It's like eating and I really like it.

Therefore, a Misson immediately appeared that I should make a cake like this, haha.

I tried several rounds. Because even though it's a cake that looks normal, it's not easy to make it nice and crumbly.

Try the method of cutting butter into the dough. (Like making tart dough) or using a different type of flour. Including the amount of fat and dry matter that needs to be adjusted. To get this cake recipe, I eat a lot of butter and flour.

Finally the formula is perfect.

By the way, the perfect way to make cookies is to beat the butter. This is because churning the butter adds air to the dough, which is another part of the cake that makes it lighter and crumbier. in the dough I use it as all-purpose flour. Because enough to be used as cake dough. Cookies come out firmer. Maybe because wheat flour has more protein. This creates the texture of the pastries and the structure of the cake instead of puffing up a bit as it bakes.

I've tested it several times. This recipe has nothing to be careful about. But all you have to do is cut the almonds into small pieces. And when making the dough don't press too much.
