Baking biscuits
Biscuits can be baked in any form and just on baking sheets covered with paper, silicone mats. It is convenient to use detachable forms with removable sides. After greasing the dishes, you can sprinkle the surface with flour. Silicone molds can not be lubricated, they are convenient enough, but you can not leave baking in them for a long time.

Biscuits are baked at an average temperature of 180 to 200. The thicker the dough layer, the lower the temperature should be. Readiness is checked with a dry stick.

Kefir sponge cake - useful tips and tricks
• Kefir in biscuits can be replaced with yoghurts, fermented baked milk and other dairy products. But they should not contain chemical dyes, preservatives, sugar substitutes. Many do not tolerate heating and behave unpredictably under the influence of high temperatures.
• Adding butter to biscuit dough is a delicate matter. Very often it exfoliates from the total mass and is taken in lumps. To prevent this from happening, the liquid ingredient is gradually introduced into the oil, first in small portions. The temperature of the products should be the same.
• Any sponge cake will be tastier if you add vanilla, cinnamon, raisins, berries, coconut, fruits to it. A huge number of options and they can be found in any kitchen.
• Soda is often used in kefir biscuits, but it is very important not to overdo it and put it strictly according to the recipe. Otherwise, the baking will have an unpleasant taste and a specific smell.
