Soft curd cheese biscuits

This dough is the 'lazy' but brilliant version of puff pastry. The acidity and moisture of the curd cheese work in a unique way with the butter and baking powder: during baking, the pastry layers itself and rises almost on its own, without hours of folding. The sugar caramelises on the outside for a crunch, while the inside remains fluffy.

Instructions

1 ✓

Rub the cold butter quickly into the flour, salt, and baking powder.

Tip: The flour particles coat the butter pieces, preventing them from fully melting together. This is the key to a crumbly texture [Shortening effect].
2 ✓

Add the sieved curd cheese and grated lemon zest, then knead together quickly. Do not overwork it!

Tip: The warmth of your hands can melt the butter, which must be avoided so it remains solid between layers until baking.
3 ✓

Roll out the dough to a finger's thickness, cut into rounds, then coat them in granulated sugar.

Tip: The sugar melts and caramelises on the surface in the oven's heat, forming a crunchy crust [Caramelisation].
4 ✓

Place on a baking tray lined with parchment and bake at 180°C for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: The water in the curd cheese turns to steam, and since the butter layers trap it, it 'puffs up' the pastry [Physical leavening].

Recipe FAQ

Why are the biscuits tough?
You likely overmixed the dough or it absorbed too much flour during rolling. Only knead curd cheese dough until it just comes together.
