French Biscuit Recipe For Your Thermomix

June 2, 2019 by Chrystalla Tzaneros Leave a Comment

French Biscuit

    This is a biscuit my Mum often made to have at home for guests. I always thought it was a bit of a special biscuit because I knew when she pulled them out there were friends coming round to visit. This recipe is fairly simple and it produces a crunchy biscuit that will have you wanting to go back for more. It is a great one to serve up with coffee or tea and my husband especially likes it as it’s the perfect biscuit for dipping.

    This biscuit is best stored in a tin container as this helps it to stay crunchy and fresh for a lot longer. It makes about 60 biscuits so you may need a big tin to store them all or you could always half the batch. We had a few people from our testing team suggest making the batch of biscuits up, rolling them out and just freezing them before cooking. This way if you don’t want to cook them all up at once you could still make the big batch and store some for later.

    I hope you will enjoy the recipe!

    French Biscuit Stack

    INGREDIENTS

    400g almonds, pistachios or nut preference
    190g unsalted butter
    2 eggs
    160g brown sugar
    250g white sugar
    190g pure cream
    30g brandy
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1 tsp cinnamon
    700g self raising flour

    STEPS

    1. Dry roast almonds (400g) for 8 minutes/100 degrees/speed 1.
    2. Take the lid off to allow the nuts to cool slightly. Then use turbo for 2 seconds to chop them a little. Set aside.
    3. Add butter (190g) and soften if not already soft for 1 minute/60 degrees/speed 3.
    4. Scrape down sides, add cream (190g), eggs (2), brown sugar (160g) and white sugar (250g) to the bowl. Mix for 10 seconds/speed 5.
    5. Add all other ingredients except flour: brandy (30g), vanilla (1 tsp), cinnamon (1 tsp) and mix 30 seconds/speed 6.
    6. Add flour (700g) and mix again 10 seconds/speed 6. Scrape down and repeat twice.
    7. Scrape mixture into a bowl to rest for 20 minutes. It will be very sticky at this stage. 
    8. Preheat oven to 180 degrees, fan forced.
    9. After the dough has rested, scoop up 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into nut mixture. Shape it into a log whist coating it in nuts. Before placing it on the tray, bend it a little to make a U shape.
    10. Cook in oven for 10-15 minutes or until lightly  browned. Let them cool on tray before moving them. 
    11. Once all biscuits are cooked, turn the oven off but put all biscuits back into the warm oven so they can harden. Keep them in there until the oven completely cools.

    NOTES

    • You can substitute half the almonds for pistachios or another nut of preference.
    • Half the batch if you have a bowl that is smaller than 2.2L.
    • Store biscuits in an airtight preferably tin container as this helps keeps them crunchy and fresher for longer.

          Truely a stunning book with the most beautiful recipes and charming family stories that shows the love that these generous women have for their family & culture.
          I feel honoured to be an early owner of their first foray into cookbook publishing “Mezze” and I feel (certainly hope) it won’t be their last. And an added bonus is that these beautiful recipes are written in an easy to follow format. Love your work Ladies

So gorgeously presented, you can feel the love of family oozing from between it’s pages, bringing a sense of home to each amazing recipe. Cannot recommend this book enough, a must have for anyone who loves Greek cuisine!!!

          This brings back some wonderful childhood memories of family dinners and the mouth watering smells wafting through the house. Thank you for “Thermomixing” the recipes to make it easier to recreate them for my family. Well done girls!!!

        • Sarah

          I have made two items so far from the cook book. The traditional greek yogurt, so yummy and so easy. I was happy I could make it thicker than I usually buy it. I also made the rice pudding which was amazing and also very easy. I normally don’t like rice pudding so was very happy with the recipe. I’m looking forward to cooking all the other yummy recipes especially the cheeses and the souvlaki.

        • Bec & Joe The 4 Blades

          Amazingly, the girls were able to cater for us (with the weird and wonderful selection of foods that don’t work for us!) We felt like we had won the food lottery!
