Basic biscuit bars

Basic biscuit bars are a delightful treat perfect for a quick snack or a comforting dessert. Simple to prepare and made with common pantry ingredients, these bars are a great way to enjoy a sweet, homemade bakery experience. Follow this straightforward recipe to create delicious, golden-brown biscuit bars your whole family will love.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter
150g
2/3 cup sugar
130g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
2 eggs
100g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
2 tbsp milk (1% fat)
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easier removal.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together 2/3 cup (150g) of butter, 2/3 cup (130g) of sugar, and 1 cup (230g) of brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add Eggs:
- Add the 2 eggs (100g) one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) of all-purpose white wheat flour and 1 tsp (5g) of baking powder until well combined.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a tougher texture.
6. Add Milk:
- Finally, add 2 tbsp (30g) of milk to the batter and mix until the milk is fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
7. Spread Batter in Pan:
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared 9x13 inch baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top.
8. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The edges will be golden brown and starting to pull away from the sides of the pan.
9. Cool and Cut:
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into squares or rectangles as desired.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.

- Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy for a better texture.

- Beat the eggs in one at a time for a more consistent dough.

- Sift the flour and baking powder together to eliminate lumps and ensure even distribution.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture to avoid overmixing.

- Use parchment paper to line your baking pan for easy removal and cleanup.

- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bars – it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting for clean, even slices.

These basic biscuit bars are best enjoyed warm with a glass of milk or a scoop of your favorite ice cream. They provide a perfect balance of buttery richness and sweet flavor, making them a versatile addition to any dessert menu. By mastering this simple recipe, you can easily customize with your favorite add-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits.
