AVô'S BISCOITOS (PORTUGUESE BISCOTTI/COOKIES)



Avô's Biscoitos (Portuguese Biscotti/Cookies) image

This is the Portuguese version of a dunking cookie. They are delicious, buttery cookies. Originally from Sao Miguel in the Azores, my Avô (Grandpa) on my father's side was a baker for many years in Montreal. This was his recipe.

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 45-55 cookies, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
5 eggs
5 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream together butter and sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture.
  • Do not undercream or overcream. (Undercreamed butter/sugar looks yellow and dense. Overcreamed butter/sugar looks white and greasy.).
  • Add eggs, mixing until blended.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.
  • Add flour mixture to creamed mixture, stirring until combined.
  • If dough seems dry or flakey, knead slightly.
  • Scoop up ping-pong ball sized dollops of dough.
  • Roll between your hands to form a 5-inch long "snake", even throughout the length.
  • (if dough is too sticky to handle at this point, you will need to add a small amount of flour to the dough to make it workable).
  • Brings ends of the "snake" together, slightly folding one end over the other, to form a donut-shape with a small hole in the middle.
  • Place cookies 1-2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let rest on baking sheet 2 minutes before transferring to rack to cool.
  • Enjoy!

PORTUGUESE BISCOITOS RECIPE (TRADITIONAL BISCUIT COOKIES)



Portuguese Biscoitos Recipe (Traditional Biscuit Cookies) image

This recipe is for the Azorean Biscoitos ring-shaped biscuits that are the perfect balance of crunchy and sweet with a hint of lemon.

Provided by Amy Desrosiers

Categories     Snack

Time 38m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 large fresh eggs
4 tablespoons whole milk
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (or extract)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and lightly flour a clean cutting board or work surface.
  • In the bowl of a standmixer, add the butter, and sugar. Cream until light and fluffy.
  • Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside. Add the eggs, extracts, and milk and mix until combined.
  • Turn down the mixer speed and slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. The dough should form a ball on the paddle. If it is too dry add 1 tablespoon of additional milk. If it is overly stick add one tablespoon of flour until it is workable.
  • Remove the dough from the stand mixer and knead on the floured workspace. The dough should be the consistency of play dough.
  • I used a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to scoop out tablespoon-sized balls.
  • On the floured work space, roll on dough with the palms of your hand to create a 5 inch "snake". Bring together the ends to form a ring. Place cookies 1 inch apart of the baking sheet.
  • These cookies bake for 18-20 minutes to get toasty deep golden-brown bottoms and tan golden-brown top surfaces. *See images
  • Cool cookies for ten minutes before removing and baking the next batch. Repeat the process until all cookies are done.
  • Cooled cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks time.

  • Portuguese Tomato Rice. Tomato rice is a staple in Portuguese households, but it is most popular in the South-Central areas of the country where fresh tomatoes are abundant.
  • Portuguese Kale, Tomato, and Sausage Soup (Caldo Verde) Caldo verde is the Portuguese version of comfort food. The soup is brimming with flavor from potatoes, greens, and sausage.
  • Shrimp Mozambique in Garlic Based Sauce. Don’t be confused by this dish’s name. Mozambique is located in Africa, but shrimp Mozambique is authentically Portuguese.
  • Azores Beef Stew With Potatoes (Molha de Carne) Molha de carne is a hearty and flavorful soup loaded with not just beef but potatoes as well. Apart from its rich, savory flavor, this stew also makes your kitchen extra-fragrant.
  • Portuguese Fish Stew (Caldeirada) Caldeirada is a light stew with fish or shellfish as its main protein. Also loaded with bell pepper, potatoes, and onions, this stew is healthy, hearty, and a complete meal in itself.
  • Portuguese Sweet Bread. The Portuguese love their bread as much as we do, and this is only the first of many featured in this list. Portuguese sweet bread is popular during Easter, but it’s so good, you’ll want to have it around all year round.
  • Azore Style Feijos (Beans) Feijoa is Portuguese for beans. This bean stew is thick, creamy, and bursting with flavor! How can it not be, when it has allspice, cloves, cinnamon, and cumin as its seasonings?
  • Portuguese Tomato Soup with Poached Eggs and Bread. If you’re too busy tonight but still want to serve something epic to the family, look no further than this recipe.
  • Portuguese Prego Rolls. Prego rolls are insanely delicious sandwiches with juicy grilled steak as it’s filling. One look at this sandwich already tells you just how amazing it is.

20 MOUTH-WATERING PORTUGUESE DESSERTS (RECIPES INCLUDED)

  • Portuguese Custard Tarts. Let’s start with perhaps the most famous pastry in Portugal – the ‘pastéis de nata’ also known as ‘pastéis de Belém’ (but with slightly different recipes).
  • Queijadas de Sintra. A traditional sweet found in the majestic town of Sintra, Queijada de Sintra’s are a cheese, egg and cinnamon tart with a crunchy outer layer.
  • Bola de Berlim. If you are a doughnut fan, wait until you try the Bola de Berlim. These Portuguese doughnuts are made with sweet dough, filled with lots of egg yolk cream and dusted off with icing sugar.
  • Bolo Rei. Traditionally eaten at Christmas time, the Bolo Rei or ‘King Cake’ is a staple dessert in any Portuguese home during the holidays. The cake is made from sweet bread, nuts, and crystallized fruit.
  • Caramel Flan. A crème caramel or ‘flan’ is as you guessed it, a custard dessert, with a layer of caramel topping. You could say this is the Portuguese version of a crème Brulée but without the crusty top layer.
  • Pão de Deus. With a name that translates to “God’s bread,’ it is easy to see why this is one of my favourite desserts in Portugal. The Pão de Deus is a sweet golden bread filled with coconut, a sure recipe sent from the heavens.
  • Arroz Doce. Now a popular dessert around the world, the Arroz Doce is a rice pudding made with rice, sugar, egg, milk and salt. It is best served with a crusty exterior and custard-like soft interior.
  • Tarte de Alfarroba. A carob tart traditional of the Algarve region, it is made using locally grown carobs (figs) and almonds. It is not actually chocolate, but its flavour is rich and tastes very similar.
  • Molotov. Like many Portuguese desserts, the Molotov is made using egg whites. It is a light and airy dessert that just about melts in your mouth. If you want to try and make it at home, here’s the recipe.
  • Bolo de Bolacha. A traditional biscuit cake that does not require any baking! It is prepared using Maria biscuits, a classic Portuguese biscuit that every Portuguese family stock in their pantry.
