Pecan Muscovado Soft Biscuits Recipe
If you’re in the mood for a biscuit that’s perfectly soft with a delightful crunch, these Pecan Muscovado Soft Biscuits are just the treat for you! Combining the richness of muscovado sugar and the nuttiness of pecans, these biscuits are an indulgent option for any snack time or coffee break.
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: Set your oven to 175°C, allowing it to reach the correct temperature while you prepare your dough.
- Cream the Butter: With a spatula, cream the soft butter until it reaches a creamy, ointment-like texture. If your butter is straight from the fridge, cut it into pieces and soften in the microwave for two 10-second intervals.
- Mix Sugars: Add the muscovado sugar and brown sugar to the creamed butter, mixing until the mixture is uniform and well-incorporated.
- Add Egg Yolk and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg yolk and vanilla extract into your mixture, blending thoroughly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the flour and finely chopped pecans. It may be easier to knead the dough by hand to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Form and Bake: Shape the dough into 35g balls—the size of a large nut—and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Flatten each ball slightly and top with a whole pecan. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Remember, the biscuits will be soft when fresh out of the oven but will harden as they cool, with a delightfully soft center.
