Marmalade cookies

Marmalade cookies
I saw the practice of orange jam on Weibo very early, and I quickly practiced it when I had time last weekend. Don't say, the sour and sweet taste is really extraordinary. No wonder it is indispensable for traditional British breakfast. Even the Queen of England's table has it on the table. Speaking of England, I will think of the mysterious Thornfield Manor in Jane Eyre, the arrogant Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, the cloudy weather in Oliver Twist, Holmes 'long pipes, carriages ringing bells, Dido's slightly lazy voice, and Hyde Park, which is talked about by college English teachers. These scenes are my first impressions of Britain. Once upon a time, I thought I was the beautiful and talented Elizabeth. In the warm afternoon, I would sit in front of the fireplace and read quietly. Occasionally, I would discuss with my female companions which officer was the most handsome in the newly stationed army. In the evening, I took a carriage to a neighbor's house to attend a dance party, wearing a floral dress and dancing the most popular social dance of the time with an elegant gentleman. During the banquet, he fell in love with Mr. Darcy, whom he liked, at first sight. After many twists and turns, the prince and princess finally lived a "shameless and happy life." Perhaps, one morning before the dew had subsided, while Elizabeth was enjoying marmalade bread, the servant handed over Mr. Darcy's invitation to propose?

  • Marmalade cookies Make Tips

    TIPS with care: 1) The water content of rock sugar oranges is large, so the yield is extremely low. 2 kilograms of rock sugar, and finally only about 300 grams of jam were made. When I made the jam this time, I whipped it twice in total. The finished product is delicate and has no fruit grains. You can also whip it only once, and it will have a rough fruit grain feeling. 2) This jam tastes slightly bitter, and the white tendons can also be removed when peeling to reduce the bitterness. The lemon juice, wheat loaf and gelatine slices added when cooking the sauce are all to increase the viscosity, and you can not put them away. 3) After mixing, the cookie batter is relatively thin. Use a decorative nozzle to squeeze it into a circle. When heating it in a baking sheet, it will automatically spread out into round slices, so leave a large space in the middle of each circle to prevent adhesion. For aesthetic reasons, you can also use a biscuit cutting die to remove the edges after the biscuit discs are baked and press into a flower shape. 4) The freshly made biscuits taste hard and taste better after standing in an airtight box for one day.
