Kiss biscuits

Kiss biscuits, also known as butterfly kisses in some regions, are a delightful treat that combine the buttery goodness of all-purpose flour with the unique texture of corn flour. These biscuits are perfect for tea time or as a light snack. The recipe is simple and requires only a handful of ingredients, making it accessible for even novice bakers.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/2 cup sugar
120g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 cup corn flour
150g
1 tsp baking powder
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter.
2. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose white wheat flour, corn flour, and baking powder until well combined.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough to keep the biscuits light and tender.
5. Shape the Biscuits:
- Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into small balls using your hands. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart as they will spread slightly during baking.
6. Flatten the Biscuits:
- Use a fork to gently press down on each ball of dough, creating a crisscross pattern on the top. This helps to flatten the biscuits slightly and gives them a traditional look.
7. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
8. Cool:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
- Enjoy your kiss biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Tips:

- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before you start mixing it with the sugar. This helps in achieving a smooth and creamy consistency.

- When adding the eggs, do so one at a time and beat well after each addition. This ensures that the mixture is well-aerated.

- Sift the all-purpose flour, corn flour, and baking powder together. This helps in incorporating air into the mixture, leading to a lighter biscuit.

- Do not overmix the dough after adding the dry ingredients. Overmixing can make the biscuits tough.

- Using a piping bag to shape the biscuits can give them a more uniform and appealing appearance.

- Bake the biscuits until the edges are golden brown, as this will give them a delightful crunch while keeping the center soft.
