Simple Beira Alta Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients
Directions
- In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt.
- Mix well, make a hole in the middle and add the remaining ingredients and mix until the consistency is a bit hard.
- Add spoonfuls on the baking sheet dusted with flour (keep them separated because they will get bigger).
- Brush them with egg yolk and sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon (to taste).
- Bake at 180°C or 350°F for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute olive oil with another type of oil?
Yes, you can substitute olive oil with another neutral oil such as vegetable oil or canola oil. However, if you prefer, you could also use melted butter for a richer flavor.
How should I store the Beira Alta biscuits after baking?
After baking, let the biscuits cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for about 4 to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
What should I do if my biscuit dough is too dry?
If your dough appears too dry and crumbly, you can add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. Be careful not to add too much at once; the dough should still be somewhat hard but manageable.
