For many, this dish brings memories of childhood, because in the Soviet canteens and shops of the 90's, such a shortcake was one of the frequent acquisitions of schoolchildren.

Most often this dish has a round shape with a hole inside. But many mistresses experiment, using different forms and adaptations, and create bizarre cookies.

Necessary ingredients

• 200 grams of butter.
• One teaspoon of baking powder for dough.
• 350 grams of wheat flour.
• One chicken egg.
• A pinch of salt.
• 100-130 grams of granulated sugar or powder.
• Peanut - 60-70 grams - for sprinkling.
• Yolks - two pieces - for lubrication.

In the sand ring, according to GOST, no other products are added. In some recipes there is milk, in others crushed nuts are added directly into the dough, in the third there is sour cream or kefir.

The cooking process according to GOST

We take a large bowl for kneading the dough and put there butter, sugar powder and baking powder. It should be noted that there are various options for how to prepare a short dough. The recipe for margarine is used quite often, but according to the GOST, as we are preparing now, all the same, butter is used.

Now carefully mix. Next, we break into a mass chicken egg and salt.

Many housewives sift the flour before adding to the dough. But, as a rule, we can wait for the splendor from the yeast variant, but we have a short-baked dough, so if you are sure of the quality of flour, you can not sift it. Adding flour to the mass, carefully stir everything up until a homogeneous sand mass is obtained.

You can mix the dough with both a special spatula and hands. We form a ball from the dough and, wrapping it with plastic wrap, put it on the refrigerator for half an hour.

We take out the ball of dough from the refrigerator and use a rolling pin to make a pancake, the thickness of which should not be more than seven millimeters. Next in the course will go either a special shape in the form of a circle or a regular dining plate of a suitable size. Use the shape to cut out the circles from the test. A smaller mold or a knife should make a hole inside the circle.

Some housewives immediately seek to douse circles in the walnut mass and send them to bake. But we are preparing a classic sand ring with nuts, a recipe according to GOST. Here the received kruglyashki go first not to the oven, but the freezer for fifteen to twenty minutes. When the rings cool down the required time, we take them out and start decorating.

To nuts crumbs had better coupling with the dough, it is pre-lubricated with egg yolk. After that, you can already nuts. Egg yolk allows not only better to combine nuts and shortbread, but also make pastries more vivid and appetizing.

The last stage is the oven heated to 200 degrees, in which it is necessary to send our rings for 10-15 minutes. As soon as the baking gets a nice golden color, you can get the rings.

The secret of the perfect shortcake

There are some simple secrets that will allow even an inexperienced mistress to make a win-win short pastry.

• Temperature. In the room where you cook, should be cool. All ingredients for the test must be at room temperature.
• Margarine or butter should be in sufficient quantity, because it is due to the presence of this component that the dough turns out to be crumbly. We do not regret oil. This dish still can not be made low-calorie. And an insufficient amount of oil will only do harm to the result.
• Try to mix all the ingredients carefully. It is better to rub flour with oil in general.
• To achieve a good result, it is important to observe the proportions. Remember that the amount of flour should be twice the amount of margarine.
• Instead of granulated sugar it is recommended to use powder. In this case, the dough will turn out, as they say, melting in the mouth.

• We keep the correct sequence of bookmarking ingredients.
• Do not forget to cool the finished dough and the already formed rings in the refrigerator.
• In a cold, still poorly heated oven, you can not put sand-dough products.
