This cookie was once popular due to its cost effectiveness. Indeed, making biscuits in brine does not require a large and expensive set of products, nor much time.
It is necessary
- - brine - 280 ml
- - soda - 2 tsp
- - sugar - 0.5 cups
- - vegetable oil - 5 tablespoons
- - flour - 5 cups
- - cinnamon or vanillin - to taste
Instructions
Step 1
Pour the brine into a wide, deep bowl. This can be liquid from a jar of pickles or tomatoes, for example. Do not take marinade, only water solution of salt.
It is not necessary to heat the brine, it can be at room temperature or cold.
Put 2 teaspoons of baking soda in the liquid. It may seem that this is too much. Don't worry, the biscuits won't get a nasty taste of sodium bicarbonate.
Add granulated sugar to this. This product can be taken more than the specified rate, up to 1 cup, this is a matter of taste.
Step 2
Now pour vegetable oil into the mixture and start adding flour little by little. Pour in a small portion, stir and add more. So, until all the flour comes out. Flavoring (vanillin or cinnamon) can be added with the flour.
Step 3
The dough will be soft, it may stick to your hands a little. You do not need to leave it for "rest", you can start working with such a test immediately.
Sprinkle the table with flour, not very abundantly, since excess flour will interfere with the rolling process, and the cut figures will immediately deform. Place the dough on the table and roll out with a rolling pin. Roll out thinly, up to half a centimeter thick. The dough rises well and bakes quickly.
Step 4
Cut the figures out of the dough using molds, lay them on a baking sheet, first placing a sheet of parchment on it or sprinkling with flour. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and put a baking sheet with cookies in the oven for 7 minutes. The finished cookie will not be brown, it will remain pale, but this should not be embarrassing, since the cookies are baked inside.
Put the cookies on a dish, you can immediately serve with milk or tea.
