为什么我们家的饼干做出来比铁板还硬？有谁知道做饼干的步骤细节？？

VENUS

Are u trying to make cookie or biscuit? I am sure that there are lots of recipe on the web.

Basic ingredients for cookie/biscuit is flour, oil/butter,water,++ Butter/oil make the cookie crumbly, water harden/toughen the dough. The way u discribed your cookie, there was too much water. Next time u can experiment with small pieces of dough, more water, more oil, etc. It's fun.

Venus: 多谢，我是想两种都试验一下，我以为少了什么原料，象baking powder之类的东东？ 另外不知道在烘烤温度和时间上有什么要求？

J'adore: 我的牙都快崩掉了，这可不是开玩笑的。

会不会是搅拌过度？瞎猜的
有些 recipes 要求用 baking powder; 有些要求用 baking soda. 我做过比较，同一recipe，加或不加 baking powder / soda，对成品影响不大

Excellent, one possible cause is due to 搅拌过度, as it creates glutin in the dough.

Baking powder create air pockets when heated and increase the volume of the finished product. I cannot recall the function of baking soda now. If no change when u skip your baking powder, it may be expired. Pour 1 tsp. of baking powder into hot tap water, it should zizle for a little while and bubble more than 0.5 inch above the water level. If not, put it into the gabage.

谢谢VENUS的提醒，我的那些baking powder / soda 都很有效，还用它们炸油条呢
因为是自己动手做，那些添加剂能不加就不加，比较小气，很不好意思地说

downtown

油条又怎么做啊？

amy

加shortening了没有?只要你加了很多油并且没有加水,再怎么烤它也绝对不会成石头

Amy, 我估计是水加多了，谢谢指点迷津。
