Amaretti Biscuits
There are lots of different variations of the term biscuit. UK has their own buttery crispy version, USA has their own flaky version and Italy has this amazing version. It is crispy and crunchy while soft and chewy on the inside. Almost like a cookie consistency, which I love and adore; I would literally trade a whole cake for a piece of cookie. Period.
What's really fascinate me is how simple it is to make these biscuits. They require only a handful of ingredients and they are absolutely gluten-free. Egg whites is the base of these biscuits, if you get it right, the rest will be smooth sailing. I prefer my biscuits to be mini in size. I find it guilt-free as I popped these in my mouth, you know how your brain treats you when you are eating sliders instead of burgers. Lol!
You can of cos make larger ones. Be sure to space them out as they will spread during baking process. I am not a fan of those no-bake-cheesecake. But when I am in the mood for some no-bake cakes, I will always use this as the base crust. Trust me. It make a whole lot of difference as compared to using those store-bought cookies or biscuits. I will post a no-bake cake recipe using these biscuits soon. Pls stay tuned. In the meantime, pls give this recipe a try.

I prefer my amaretti biscuits to be mini in size. You can of cos choose to make bigger ones by using a tablespoon instead.
I am using a teaspoon to scoop out individual biscuit and roll it into a ball.
By dusting my hands lightly with icing sugar, I find it easier to roll the biscuits.
- 4
Place the biscuits onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Leave some space in between as the biscuits will spread while baking.
Wack into the oven and bake for 15 mins or until golden brown with some cracks.
- 5
Remove from oven and set aside to cool, for about 20 mins.
Transfer into airtight containers.
The biscuits can be kept at room temperature for about a week.

Amaretti are typical italian dry cookies, made with almonds. We use to dip them in white wine but they're also good as they are. This is my personal version of chocolate amaretti, not as good to dip in white wine but yummier to eat alone.

After many trials, this is closest to the original.Stop immediately once the dough has formed. Do not over-knead, or it won't crack. It's fine if it's slightly powdery.Mix briskly without over thinking.During the hot season, let the dough cool in the fridge, then the scones will crack when baking. For about 6 cm × 6 biscuits.

American-Style Biscuits American-Style Biscuits
I make these to use up whey that was left over from straining yogurt.Whey makes them soft and fluffy, but they're also pretty delicious with milk.Sift the dry ingredients if you have time.When stretching out the dough, do so carefully so that you don't rip the bag.The bottom is prone to burning while baking, so bake on the top level.They're made sweet to be eaten as-is. If you're making them for breakfast, reduce the amount of sugar by half. For 10, 5 cm [2.0 in] diameter. Recipe by cafe-cafe
