There are several ways to prepare biscuit dough without a mixer. You can mix the ingredients with a whisk, fork, or a homemade shaker, or you can change the dough technology by adding baking powder.
Airy biscuit dough is an excellent base for cakes, pastries, rolls and other confectionery products. Excellent taste and ease of preparation made biscuit one of the most popular types of baked goods.
By its structure, biscuit dough is a highly concentrated dispersed system in which air bubbles are evenly distributed in a mixture of eggs, sugar and flour. You can prepare biscuit dough only by beating, since the recipe does not provide for the addition of baking powder. Typically, this procedure is performed with a mixer operating at a low speed. Well, if you don't have a mixer at hand, you can use other kitchen utensils.
How to make biscuit dough without a mixer
The classic biscuit is made from eggs, sugar and flour. The dough is light and airy due to a special cooking technology - gradual whipping of all the ingredients until a thick dense mass is formed. Instead of a mixer, use a regular pastry whisk or two forks folded together - with these devices you can make an excellent biscuit dough. True, this will require an effort.
The easiest and safest recipe: take one glass of sugar and flour and three large eggs each. Eggs with sugar are placed in a clean, dry dish and begin to gently beat them with a whisk or fork until the resulting mixture turns white and expands. After that, put the whisk aside and gradually add flour on a spoon, gently stirring the dough from top to bottom. The finished dough is baked for about 40 minutes, while the oven cannot be opened for the first 20 minutes - the biscuit will fall off and lose its splendor.
A few more ways to make biscuit dough without a mixer
Some creative housewives use a homemade shaker for whipping - a jar with a tightly screwed lid where a small spring is placed. They put the necessary ingredients in the jar and begin to shake it with vigorous movements until the dough is ready. This procedure takes no more time than exercises with a whisk and fork.
There is a way for the lazy - to cook not a classic biscuit, but a simplified version of it using soda or baking powder. The basis of the dough in this case is the same: flour, eggs and sugar, but during the cooking process, baking powder is added along with the flour. Thanks to the baking powder, the whipping process can be shortened, since the dough will turn out fluffy anyway.
We must not forget that the biscuit does not like sharp movements, so you need to be very careful when you put the dough in the oven and take out the finished cake.
