Assorted homemade biscuits for a snack

Keep the dough cold and work with one piece at a time; assorted homemade biscuits bake in four trays, with sesame and cheese or with jam. The triangles turn out tender and slightly flaky, while the sweet ones keep the flavor of sour cherries or raspberries. I make sure the margarine is cold so I can rub it into the flour without softening it. Preparation: 10 minutes. Cooking: 60 minutes. Resting: 30 minutes. Total time: 1 hour and 40 minutes. Servings: 16. Approximately 290 kcal and 6 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the dough

  • 250 g Rama Maestro margarine with 70% fat
  • 500 g flour
  • 1 sachet baking powder (10 g)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons borș (Romanian fermented bran liquid)

For the topping

  • 1 egg
  • 100 g cheese
  • 30 g toasted sesame seeds
  • 100 g sour cherry jam
  • 100 g raspberry jam

Preparation

1. Mix the flour with the baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the cold margarine, cut into pieces, and rub it into the flour with your fingers. 2. Mix in 1 egg, the sour cream and the borș (Romanian fermented bran liquid). Gradually add the flour until you have a dough you can roll out, then knead it on a floured work surface. 3. Roll out the dough, fold it, roll it out again and fold it once more. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. 4. Divide the dough into four pieces. Work with one on a floured work surface and keep the others in the fridge. 5. Roll the first piece into a slightly thicker sheet and brush it with the second egg, beaten. Sprinkle with grated cheese and toasted sesame seeds, then cut the sheet into triangles. 6. Roll out the remaining pieces one at a time. Cut out shapes for the sweet biscuits and put a little sour cherry or raspberry jam on each one. 7. Arrange the biscuits on baking trays and bake each tray at 180°C for about 15 minutes, until golden. The dough softens quickly, so work without long breaks.

Notes

Don’t rush the folding and chilling; the dough softens quickly on the counter. Slightly thicker sheets stay tender, and jam that is thick enough won’t spread while baking. The texture is somewhere between a savory biscuit and a tender corner of pie. I made four trays, with cheese triangles and biscuits topped with sour cherry or raspberry jam. They keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, and I serve them with tea; they contain gluten, dairy and eggs.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace the margarine with butter?

Yes, use 250 g cold butter with at least 80% fat.

Can I make the dough a day ahead?

Yes, you can keep it covered in the fridge for up to 12 hours before rolling it out.

What should I do if the dough cracks when I roll it out?

Leave the piece on the counter for 5 minutes, then gently press the cracks together with your fingers.
