Hi
It
is known by everybody that Earl Grey Tea gives out a very rich flavour to cookie
and I was thinking it would be wonderful if the cookie could give out the
flavour of Oolong Tea. So I decided to
give it a try. But I was pretty
disappointed as the cookies turn out to be flavourless. There wasn’t any slightest flavour of Oolong
Tea at all L
However,
the consolation part is that the texture of the cookie is crunchy; not so
buttery and it goes really well with cup of Lipton Tea J.
But if you will to ask me whether I will bake
this again for Chinese New Year? My reply
to you is… I doubt I will.
The
recipe yields 30 pcs. But I think I only
managed to pipe out less than 15 pcs and by evening, the cookies were all gone.
INGREDIENTS
A.
150g
Butter
100g
Icing Sugar
B.
20g
Egg Yolk
C.
60g
Ground Almond
200g Cake Flour
D.
50g Milk
5g Earl Grey Tea Leave
(I replaced with Oolong because nobody drinks Earl Grey Tea at
home)
METHOD
(1)Softened
the butter and cut into dices. Place
ingredients C in a same bowl.
(2)Line
a baking tray with non-stick baking mat.
Preheat oven to 180˚C.
(3)Place
Ingredients A into mixing bowl. Using a
whisk, beat the mixture till light and fluffy.
Add Ingredients B in 2-3 batches and beat well after each addition.
(4)Heat
milk to 90˚C and
remove from heat. Add in tea leaves and
cover with lid for 5 minutes.
(5)Filter
the milk tea, and place some of the leaves into the mixture (3) and beat well.
(6)Sift
in Ingredient C. Mix until the mixture
is well combined.
(7)Place
the dough into plastic bag and slightly flatten it, wrap tightly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
(8)Remove
the dough. Sprinkle some flour over
workspace and roll the dough out to a thickness of 0.5cm. Use cookie mould cutter to cut out the dough
and place them onto a baking tray. Instead
of using cookie mould cutter, I pipe out the batter onto the baking tray.
(9)Bake
in oven for 20 mintues. Remove from oven
and set aside to cool.
This recipe is taken from the
cookbook – The Secret of Cookies 告诉你饼干的密秘。
This cookbook is a Christmas gift from my elder boy. He said the cookbook is value for money as it
contains so many recipes at the price of less than S$20. Ha ha ha!
Wishing
all of you happy baking for Cook & Celebrate: CNY 2015 hosted by 3 of my

ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
