Korendekager Currant Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar.
• Add all remaining ingredients and stir until smooth.
• With a teaspoon, place dots of dough on a well-greased baking sheet.
• Do not place cookies too close, as they spread while baking.
• Bake in a fairly hot oven (400°F, 200°C, GM 6) for 10 minutes until golden brown.
• Leave to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before removing.

Steps:

• In a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar at medium speed until light and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add flour, salt, currants and ginger, and mix until well blended, about 3 minutes. Gather dough into a ball and flatten slightly.
• Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper (or use nonstick baking mat). Place dough on paper or mat and roll out into a 10-inch square, an even 1/4-inch thick. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Position an oven rack in center of oven. Heat to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 10 1-inch-wide strips (if using mat, remove dough to a cutting surface first). Cut each strip into 1 1/2-inch-long rectangles. Gather and roll out scraps and cut out more cookies. (Triangles or cookie cutter shapes can be made as an alternative to rectangles.)
• One sheet at a time, bake until edges are lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack and cool completely before storing in airtight containers up to 1 week.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to beat together until light and fluffy. Beat in the salt and vanilla until well mixed. Add the egg whites gradually, beating thoroughly after each addition to incorporate fully. Gently mix in the flour to create a smooth batter. Stir in the currants, distributing them evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until the batter has firmed up and is easier to manipulate.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Use 2 demitasse spoons (or other small spoons) to shape the cookies. Scoop up about 1 teaspoon of batter with 1 spoon and slide it off with the other spoon onto the baking sheet. As you work, space the cookies about 2 inches apart. Do your best to create marble-sized mounds.
• Bake the cookies, 1 sheet at a time, for 12 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are brown and the centers are pale yellow. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to racks to finish cooling and crisping before serving. Store any left over cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Steps:

• Chop dried fruit (currants, raisins, sultanas or a mixture). Put flour and sugar into a bowl and rub in the butter lightly with the finger tips until no lumps remain, then stir in the sugar.
• Add 1-2 Tbs milk to give a stiff dough and turn this on to a floured board.
• Pat lightly into shape and roll out very evenly to 1/8 inches thick, keeping the dough a regular shape, then cut in half.
• Sprinkle one half evenly with chopped fruit and cover with the other piece of dough.
• Lightly flour the board and roll the mixture again until 1/8 inches thick,.
• keeping as square as possible.
• Trim the edges and cut into squares or triangles and bake on a greased tray in mod. hot oven @ 400°F for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Rinse the brisket under cold water and pat dry. Season with the coriander, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne.
• Heat the oil in a roasting pan until just smoking. (Make sure area is well-ventilated). Sear the brisket until browned on all sides. Remove to platter, cover, and let stand about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, arrange 2 long overlapping sheets of aluminum foil that are large enough to envelop the brisket on a work surface.
• Preheat the oven to 300 deg F.
• Mix the brown sugar and mustard in a small bowl to make a small paste. Rub the brisket with the paste and place on top of the foil sheets.
• Tightly wrap the brisket in the foil so that no mustard paste can escape.
• Place the brisket on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan and cook for 10 hours; when done, a paring knife should pierce the meat with ease. Let cool slightly.
• Unwrap the brisket, slice and serve with mashed potatoes.
• Leftover brisket can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Note: I made this last weekend with beef ribs - just the rub, not the paste. I sectioned the ribs and rubbed with the spice mixture, then threw into the slow cooker for about ten hours on low. Very tender and flavorful. So, another option.

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar.
