As i mentioned in my intro post below, one of the first thing i learned in my  seminars was the sample dough, and which ways  can bake it to get nice results.

Sample dough can be used also for any kind of tarts busquits or cookies! I suppose this is why we call it ’sample’.’

Ok, let see how we do that…

We need:

• 500 gr flour (soft)
• 300 gr butter
• 200 gr caster sougar
• 100 gr almond powder
• 2 eggs
• 3 gr salt
• Vanillin
• jam we like

Preparation:

If your eggs comes right from the fridge, just put them in a ben marie to get the room tempreature. The best practice is to have the eggs alogn with butter out your fridge few hours before procedure. Sift the flour and the caster sugar. If you don’t have almond powder, don’t worry, just take simple almonds put them in water to soak, their skin comes out immediatly!

Execution:

In a mixer bucket, we put the butter, the eggs one by one, and the rest except the flour. When the blend is ready, we stop the mixer, and with our hands we put the flour in doses. As soon as the blend becomes dough, we put it in and in the fridge, into a gelatin. We do that to froze the butter, because the kneading will be easier.

The best option is to have the dough in the fridge from the previous day. Nice until here.

Giving the shape:

Get the dough out of the fridge, and with the plaster, open it in a square shape for about 1/4 cm height. Use a ‘cup pat’, nomatter what shape you got,  and cut the dough into shapes.

Count the number of cutted and cut the same number again in same shapes to make the cups. Ok, now for the cups just pick one smaller shape and make a design the center of it.

Put them in the oven in 160 ^C , using the up & down function and not the air. Bake them for 15′. Remember, the more you bake it the most crispy become, but don’t burn it! As soon as they are ready, put them in a wire to cool.

Then take your favorite jam, a base busquit and a cup,  spread some jam (carefull don’t put much ammount) and close with the cup. You are ready!

Serve the buisquits in a nice platter, invite some friends and enjoy a hot cup of coffee!!!
