Parmesan and Poppy Biscuits (Traditional & Thermomix)

A go-to recipe in my répertoire are the Parmesan and Poppy Biscuits from Yotam Ottolenghi.

Zutaten:

Zubereitung:

Sift the flour, baking powder, paprika and cayenne into a bowl and add the salt and pepper.

Mix the softened butter with the Parmesan until they are well blended. You can do this either by hand, using a spatula, or in a freestanding mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

Add the dry ingredients and continue mixing until a soft dough is formed.
Put the dough on a well-floured worksurface and divide it in half.
Use plenty of flour, both on your hands and on the work surface to roll each piece into a long log, 3- 4cm in diameter. Wrap each log in cling film and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Scatter the poppy seeds over a flat plate or tray. Brush the logs with the beaten egg and then roll them in the poppy seeds until covered.
Refrigerate again for 1 hour (at this stage you can also wrap the logs and freeze them).

Preheat the oven to 170°C fan. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Cut the logs into slices 5-8mm thick and arrange them on the tray, space apart. Bake for 12 minutes. The biscuits should be dark golden and smell amazing!

Bon Appetit!
