Welcome to another delightful recipe on our blog! Today, we’re sharing a recipe that’s perfect for those who love a touch of nutty sweetness in their biscuits. These Pecan Muscovado Biscuits are not only easy to make but also incredibly delicious. Let’s dive right into the details!
Ingredients
- 95g soft butter
- 60g muscovado sugar
- 50g brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk (about 15g)
- 5 drops vanilla extract
- 140g flour
- 20g finely chopped pecans
- 10 whole pecans
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (347°F). This ensures it’s hot enough to bake the biscuits evenly.
- Cream the Butter: In a bowl, use a spatula to cream the soft butter until it has a creamy, ointment-like texture. If your butter is straight from the fridge, cut it into pieces and microwave it for two intervals of 10 seconds each to soften it.
- Mix in the Sugars: Add the muscovado sugar and brown sugar to the creamed butter. Mix until you achieve a uniform texture.
- Add the Egg Yolk and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg yolk and the vanilla extract into the mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Mix in the flour and finely chopped pecans. Knead the dough by hand to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated and the dough is easy to handle.
- Form the Biscuits: Form the dough into balls weighing approximately 35g each (about the size of a large nut). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Flatten each ball slightly and top each one with a whole pecan.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. The biscuits will be soft when you take them out of the oven, but they will harden as they cool, maintaining a soft center.
