Oatmeal Dried Fruit Shortbread
Butter 120g | Salt 3 grams |
Powdered sugar 60 grams | Whole eggs 4 |
Oats 130g | Almond slices 40g |
Low gluten flour 280g | Milk powder 45g |
Black sesame seeds 15 grams | Pumpkin seeds 20 grams |
raisins 25 grams | Dried cranberries 25 grams |
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients and weigh them. The low-gluten flour must be sifted first. Air will be trapped in the sifting process, making the shortbread even crispier. You can buy ready-made sugar powder, or you can beat it yourself. If you beat it yourself, don't beat too much at one time. You can add a little cornstarch to prevent moisture.Step 2
The butter is softened, not liquefied! Soften enough that you can poke holes lightly with your finger. Add the salt and butter together and mix briefly with a spatula. Then turn the electric mixer on low speed and beat it evenly to allow the salt and butter to be absorbed.Step 3
Add the powdered sugar in three more batches. After each addition of powdered sugar, turn on the egg beater at medium speed and beat evenly. Add the next powdered sugar after all the sugar and butter are absorbed.Step 4
This is the state after adding three times of powdered sugar. It is white in color and fluffy and feathery.Step 5
Beat the eggs and add them to the whipped butter in three batches. After each addition, turn the whisk on the lowest speed and beat the egg liquid evenly before adding the next time until all the egg liquid is added. Adding the egg liquid in batches will not easily cause the oil and water to separate.Step 6
After adding the egg liquid and whipping it up, the final state will not separate the oil and water at all.Step 7
Add oatmeal and almond slices and mix roughly with a spatula.Step 8
Then add the low-gluten flour and milk powder, and use the cutting and stirring technique to mix evenly until there is no obvious dry powder.Step 9
Add black sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, grapesRaisins, dried cranberries.Step 10
Use a spatula to roughly mix evenly. Do not overmix. You can also wear gloves and mix evenly with your hands.Step 11
The prepared biscuit batter does not stick to the spatula and has moderate hardness.Step 12
Divide the dough into 20 grams each, round it up and place it in a baking pan, then flatten it slightly, and you can use your hands to roughly tighten the shape. Take a little egg yolk and add a little milk, mix it and lightly brush it on the surface of the biscuits, just brush a thin layer.Step 13
I use a wind stove to bake two pans at the same time. The oven is preheated at 180-190 degrees in the wind stove mode! Then put the 2 trays of biscuits into the fully preheated oven at the same time, 160 degrees, 18 minutes! Domestic open-hearth ovens can be operated in half, at about 170~175 degrees, and baked for about 15 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden. The time and temperature are for reference only. The specific temperature and time are based on the actual conditions of each oven.Step 14

It comes out of the oven and is evenly colored.Step 16

You can consume oats and dried fruits at home. This is a healthy biscuit. It can be eaten as a snack if you are craving for food.Step 18
In autumn and winter, it’s also great to add biscuits that are high in calories and full of nutty flavor!Step 19

The temperature of each oven is different, and there are also big differences between wind and flat ovens. Follow the actual adjustments of your own oven.
Beat the butter until it becomes white and fluffy. If the butter is not whipped properly, the biscuits will not be crisp enough.
