Favourite basic recipes
Black and white cookies
with coffee glaze icing
Preparation time: approx. 20 minutes (plus baking time)
Makes 10
150 g butter
125 g sugar
1 sachet vanilla sugar
2 eggs
300 g flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 sachet vanilla blancmange powder
grated zest of ½ unwaxed lemon
5 tbsp milk
150 g mocha chocolate
4 tbsp coffee liqueur
1Beat the butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs well. Mix the flour and vanilla blancmange powder and beat into the mixture. Fold in the lemon zest and milk.
2Pre-heat the oven to 200 °C (Gas Mark 6, fan oven 180 °C). Line a baking tray with parchment. For each cookie, put one heaped tablespoon of mixture on the baking tray. Leave plenty of space between the cookies because the dough doubles in diameter when baking. Bake on the middle shelf for approx. 15 minutes until light brown. Take care not to let the cookies become too brown otherwise they will go dry.
3Melt the mocha chocolate over a bain-marie and stir in the coffee liqueur. Coat the flat side of the cookies with the chocolate.
Tip:
A marbled effect with white and dark chocolate also looks appetising: melt the different chocolates separately. Coat the cookies half with white and half with dark chocolate, then use a fork to create the marbling effect.
Cinnamon pretzels
Preparation time: approx. 30 minutes (plus cooling and baking time)
Makes 18
50 g margarine
1 egg
20 g soured cream
1 tbsp sugar
10 ml rum
140 g wholewheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
egg yolk for glazing
1Beat the margarine with the egg, soured cream, sugar and rum. Mix the wholewheat flour with the baking powder and cinnamon and beat into the margarine and egg mixture. Beat everything to a smooth paste and chill for 30 minutes.
2Shape the dough mixture to a roll and cut into 18 equal-size sections. Shape a thin roll from each section and form a pretzel. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment, glaze with whisked egg yolk and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200 °C (Gas Mark 6, fan oven 180 °C) for approx. 15 minutes.
Brioche muffins
Preparation time: approx. 40 minutes (plus resting and baking time)
Makes 12
50 ml milk
25 g fresh yeast
50 g sugar
200 g butter
250 g flour (type 550)
pinch of salt
2 eggs (at room temperature)
flour for the work surface
softened butter for the muffin tray
1 egg yolk for glazing
2 tbsp cream for glaze
1Heat the milk in a saucepan. Pour into a bowl and crumble in the yeast. Blend with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Cover and leave the yeast mixture for approx. 15 minutes to rest.
2Melt the butter and then leave to cool slightly. Sift the flour into a bowl, mix with salt and the remainder of the sugar and make a well in the middle. Pour the yeast mixture, eggs and warm runny butter into the well and knead the ingredients with your hands.
3Sprinkle a little flour over the work surface. Put the dough on the work surface and knead again. Repeat this process until the dough is no longer sticky. Roll the dough to a ball and place in a bowl. Cover with a damp towel and leave in a warm place to rise for approx. 40 minutes. Knead the dough again thoroughly on a floured work surface and then shape to another ball. Place in a large bowl, cover and leave overnight in the refrigerator.
4Grease a muffin tray. Knead the dough again thoroughly on a floured work surface and set aside one fifth of the dough. Divide the remainder of the dough into 12 pieces, roll each piece to a ball and place in the muffin moulds. Roll the remaining dough into 12 miniature dough balls. Using your fingers, press a large hole in each of the larger dough balls and fill the hole with a smaller dough ball. Cover everything with a kitchen towel and leave to rise for one hour.
5Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C (Gas Mark 4, fan oven 160 °C). Blend the egg yolk and cream in a cup and brush over the brioches. Bake on the middle shelf for approx. 20 minutes.
Tip:
Drench 100 g of raisins with boiling water and gradually knead into the brioches after they have cooled.
Apricot
crumble cake pastries
Preparation time: approx. 20 minutes (plus cooling and baking time)
Makes 12
150 g butter
250 g flour
50 g ground almonds
1 egg
½ tsp grated zest of 1 unwaxed lemon
150 g sugar
1 pack frozen puff pastry
120 g apricot jam
3 tbsp apricot liqueur
150 g icing sugar
flour for the work surface
1Chop the butter. Knead with the flour, almonds, egg, lemon zest and sugar until smooth and chill for at least 30 minutes. Defrost the puff pastry.
2Pre-heat the oven to 190 °C (Gas Mark 5, fan oven 170 °C). Line a baking tray with parchment. Gently roll out the puff pastry lengthways and cut each section in half (lengthways) to make very long and thin rectangle shapes.
3Blend the apricot jam with 2 tablespoons of apricot liqueur until smooth. Coat the puff pastry slices with the glaze. Now spread the crumble mixture on top and press down lightly. Bake on the middle shelf for approx. 20 minutes.
4Remove the pastries and leave to cool. Blend the icing sugar and remainder of the apricot liqueur until smooth and drizzle over the pastry slices.
Tip:
Instead of a sugar glaze, you can also use melted chocolate couverture to drizzle over the pastries (with your choice of white or dark couverture).
Cinnamon swirls
Preparation time: approx. 20 minutes (plus resting, cooling and baking time)
Makes 75
500 g flour
325 g chilled butter
125 g yoghurt
salt
4 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
50 g nib sugar
flour for the work surface
1Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the chilled butter in flakes and combine with your hands. Add the yoghurt and salt and knead everything to a smooth paste. Wrap in cling film and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
2Halve the dough and roll out one half about 3 mm thick (40 x 30 cm). Mix the sugar and cinnamon and scatter half of the sugar crystals over the dough. Roll up the dough from the longer side and chill for one hour. Repeat the process with the other half of the dough.
3Pre-heat the oven to 200 °C (Gas Mark 6, fan oven 180 °C). Cut the dough rolls into pieces ½ cm thick and place on baking trays lined with parchment. Sprinkle with nib sugar and bake in the oven for approx. 15 minutes.
Brioches with dried fruits
Preparation time: approx. 1 hour 10 minutes (plus marinating, rising and baking time)
Makes 8
80 g mixed dried fruits
50 ml strong espresso
2 cl Cognac
30 g sugar
25 g fresh yeast
150 ml milk
500 g flour
1 egg
5 egg yolks
160 g softened butter
10 g salt
1 tsp rum
1Dice the dried fruits into small pieces and mix with the espresso, Cognac and 20 g sugar. Cover and leave to marinate for 2 hours. Mix the yeast with 50 ml lukewarm milk, 10 g sugar and 50 g flour. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes until the dough has doubled in size.
2Combine the remainder of the milk, egg and 4 egg yolks and mix into the pre-prepared dough. Sift in the remaining flour and mix everything to a firm dough. Gradually knead the butter, salt and rum into the dough and knead firmly for another 20 minutes. Cover the dough and leave to rise in a warm place for one hour.
3Drain the dried fruits, squeeze out a little of the liquid and knead into the brioche dough. Pre-heat the oven to 220 °C (Gas Mark 7, fan oven 200 °C) and grease the brioche moulds. Knead the dough again and set aside about 200 g to make the brioche lids. Shape the rest of the dough to 8 equal size balls, place in the moulds and brush with a little egg yolk.
4Shape 8 mini balls from the rest of the dough and put these on top of the larger dough balls. Also brush with egg yolk glaze. Reduce the oven temperature by 40 °C and bake the brioches on the middle shelf for approx. 10 minutes.
