Fresh Cream Twists | Melt in your mouth

Fresh Cream Twists Light, crispy, buttery, and melt-in-the-mouth... these are my all-time favourite tea dunkers! Once you make them, you'll be baking them again and again. Makes: About 3 dozen Ingredients 2 cups cake flour 2 tsp baking powder 125g soft butter 1 tsp vanilla essence Approximately ½ cup fresh cream Milk, for dipping Castor sugar, for dipping Method 1. Combine the cake flour, baking powder and butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. 2. Add the vanilla essence and fresh cream, mixing just until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. You may need slightly more or less cream, so add only enough to bring the dough together. 3. Stop mixing as soon as a dough forms. Do not overwork the dough. 4. Divide the dough into portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion to about ½ cm thick. 5. Cut into strips approximately 12 cm × 1 cm. 6. Place two strips together, pinch at the top, twist them gently, then pinch the bottom to secure. 7. Pour the milk and castor sugar into separate shallow bowls. 8. Dip one side of each twist into the milk, allow any excess to drip off, then press the same side into the castor sugar. 9. Arrange the twists on a baking tray lined with baking paper, leaving about 1 cm between each one as they will expand slightly during baking. 10. Bake at 160°C for 15–20 minutes. The bottoms should be lightly golden while the tops remain pale. 11. The twists may still feel soft when removed from the oven. Once all the batches are baked, switch the oven off and return the twists to the warm oven to cool completely. This helps them become wonderfully crisp. 12. Once cooled, dip the twists into castor sugar again. If the sugar doesn't stick well, warm the twists in the oven for a minute or two, then coat them once more. Store in an airtight container and enjoy with your favourite cup of tea! . . . . . #FreshCreamTwists #TeaTimeTreats #HomemadeBiscuits #EasyBaking #ButterBiscuits #TeaDunkers #BiscuitRecipe #HomeBaking #SouthAfricanRecipes #TeaTime #BakingFromScratch #MeltInYourMouth #FoodCreator #RecipeVideo #explorepage #easyrecipe #viral . . . . .
