Cracker Biscuits


I have had my TMX for nearly 2 years and have had several attempts at making dry biscuits. It is only now that I have had success. The good thing is that the topping can be whatever you fancy. I just used what I had in the pantry and fridge. I used...

From bottom right in photo...

Nigelia seeds and rock salt, sprinkled on top and rolled in.
Sesame seeds and rock salt, sprinkled on top and rolled in.
Parmesan Cheese, sprinkled on 1/2 when rolled, folded over and rolled again. before cutting.
Sweet soy sauce mixed with Sesame oil, folded as above
Welsh Rarebit, same as above
Sweet Chilli Sauce ,kneaded into dough.

I cut different shapes so I could identify the different flavors. The cup from the TMX gives a very good size.

Set oven at 220 o C, bake for 10/15 mins.

Place in TMX bowl and knead for 3 mins.
300g. bread flour
2 teaspoons of dried yeast.
2 Tablespoons of Olive oil
170 mls of warm water.

When kneaded , place in warm position to double.
Knock down and place in a plastic bag to keep moist.
Work with 1/6 of the dough at a time and roll out to about 8cm x 5 cm.
Apply topping and cut into desired size and shape.
Place on lined oven tray and Spray with oil, ( I used Rice Bran Oil )
Bake until light brown, moving tray around so they brown evenly.
Cool on wire rack, and store in air tight tin.

Makes about 100, depending on size.

Ideal for kiddies lunch boxes, on cheese platter or with dips.

Parmesan shortbreads



Parmesan shortbreads



This recipe was taken from BBC, Australian Good Food, Oct. 2009. I chose this recipe as the magazine had a calorie count for each biscuit. Because I made the biscuits slightly smaller I estimate that each biscuit has 100 calories. I made 34 , using a small ice cream scoop. I also substituted 1/2 the butter with coconut oil.

260g plain flour
60g Parmigiano Reggiano, plus 2 extra Tablespoons.
Pinch of baking powder
Pinch of ground pepper
Pinch of cayanne pepper
220g cold butter, ( I substituted 1/2 with coconut oil)

Heat oven to 180
Chop butter and place in TMX bowl with all other ingredients, except the extra cheese.
Press Turbo button until the mixture comes together.
Tip out on to floured mat and form into a ball.
Form into 34 pieces and roll into small balls, and then into extra cheese.
Place on oven trays and bake 15 to 20 mins.

Uncooked mix can be frozen.
