- 5 eggs
- 250 g sugar
- 200 g flour
- baking powder for the dough
- warm water
- a pinch of salt.
Instructions
Step 1
This recipe for the classic biscuit is called "cold", since the eggs do not heat up during the dough preparation process, and the whites are separated from the yolks. So, separate the whites from the yolks. Add a pinch of salt and 50 g of granulated sugar to the proteins, beat them into a fluffy foam with a mixer.
Step 2
Add 5 tablespoons to the yolks. lukewarm water and remaining sugar, and whisk until thick white foam as well.
Step 3
Gently add flour and baking powder to the whipped egg whites and stir. Then very carefully, not in a circular motion, but carefully turning the mixture over, add some of the proteins to the yolks. Stir and then add the rest of the proteins just as carefully. If you are not careful with this procedure, the biscuit will settle and not be fluffy.
Step 4
Line the bottom of the baking dish with parchment paper. Gently line the dough into a mold.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 150 degrees. Place the pan in the oven for 10 minutes at 150 degrees, then turn it up to 180 degrees and bake for about half an hour. Check the readiness of the biscuit with a wooden stick. After you turn off the heat, do not remove the biscuit from the mold, but let it stand in the hot oven for another 15 minutes.
Step 6
When the sponge cake has cooled, refrigerate it for at least 8 hours. Fresh hot sponge cake is almost not cut, and if you start soaking it, it will get wet and fall apart from the soaking, so it just needs to stand in the refrigerator.
