Flower Butter Cookies (Using Bread Flour & Rice Flour) 牛油小花饼


小时候Angel家里的过年饼都是婆婆和姑姑制作的,从来没花过一分钱买外面卖的年饼。家里制作的年饼有黄梨塔,Kuih BangkitCornflakes 饼,腰豆饼和炸蜜蜂窝,唯独少了那种挤花的传统牛油饼。所以,每次去拜年时我特别留意牛油饼,吃得最多的也是牛油饼。


外形上传统牛油饼一定少不了中间那一点红,而且形状一定是挤花的。试做了今年最红的牛油饼(德国酥饼红了好几年了,今年是时候让位了),材料用到了粘米粉。饼干烤好时我隐约可以闻到一股米粉的味道,吃进口里时那霎那我还是感觉到那股不讨喜的味道(我的味蕾和嗅觉是属于比较敏感的)。还好,饼干冷却后那股味道也跟着散去。隔天再尝,我也吃不出那米粉味了。

其实我觉得这个牛油饼不论味道和口感与德国酥饼有九分像,只是轻盈度不及德国酥饼,而且有点粘牙。但是外形上这个牛油饼肯定占上风,因为白白的德国酥饼在华人新年几乎不怎么讨喜。如果和我小时候吃过的传统牛油饼干比起来我觉得味道就不相似了。

如果你喜欢入口即化,制作简单的牛油饼,这个食谱值得一试。


This lovely butter cookie is melt-in-the-mouth and the taste is somehow very close to the famous German Cookies except it is not as light as German Cookies in my opinion. You may want to give it a try if you are fan of German Cookies

      I am referring to the look actually. I made it look like traditional butter cookies with red cherry at the centre.

      I have to think twice now if I shall change the name.

    1. Anoymous,

      Bread flour helps the cookies stay in shape after baking.

      Rice flour has no gluten, I suppose it helps to make the cookies lighter and "melt-in-the-mouth".
