Chapter 1296 Coffee Biscuits (II)
After watching the slaughter of the pig, Duan You's stomach was a little uncomfortable, Meng Chuan saw his expression and patted Duan You's shoulder, "Okay, they are all soldiers, don't be so hypocritical, I'll make you coffee cookies, you have to eat, if you don't eat enough, there is no way to improve your combat effectiveness." ”
Duan You nodded, "It's just that the food you cook is delicious, so I dare to say that I guarantee to eat it, if it's someone else's cooking, I really can't guarantee it." ”
Without further ado, Meng Chuan started to do it directly.
Cut a piece of butter first, put it in a basin and melt it, butter is an ingredient that is refined with milk, so the fat content is quite high, even if it has the effect of lubricating and improving the taste, Meng Chuan does not recommend putting more, otherwise it will not be good for the body.
Besides, it is not necessary to put more butter, the taste of the biscuit will be better, this thing pays attention to an appropriate amount, too much, and it will be greasy if you put too much.
Melt the butter, add some powdered sugar, white sugar, stir until it is fused with the butter, then you can pour in the coffee powder, if you have the conditions, you can add a little cocoa powder, so that the small biscuits will be more refreshing.
Continue stirring, stirring well, add some milk, and finally pour in some cake flour, which is a flour that specializes in cakes and pastries and can be bought anywhere.
Meng Chuan is relatively senior in kneading dough, which has opened the eyes of a group of cooking soldiers who secretly observe him.
The dough is kneaded and cut into small squares, if there is a mold, you can use the mold to press out a better shape, here Meng Chuan is more lazy, cut the cubes directly, because this is the most convenient.
Cut the biscuits, put them in the oven, and bake them at 150 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, which mainly depends on the thickness of the biscuits. If it's thin, bake it quickly.
After the cooking squad leader saw Meng Chuan put the small biscuits in the oven, he immediately came to Meng Chuan's side, "Chief, I see that you don't use yeast to make pastries, and the pastries made in this way shouldn't be very delicious." ”
Meng Chuan waved his hand, "If you make soft pastries such as bread, you must add yeast to ferment, but biscuits, especially coffee biscuits, it is a bit too much to put yeast, because the biscuits themselves are hard, if yeast is added, the biscuits will be too soft, and they will fall apart when you pick them up, and there is no way to eat them well." ”
"And the taste of coffee biscuits is not destined to be particularly attractive, after all, coffee is bitter, even if sugar and milk are added, there is no way to completely eliminate the bitterness of coffee, you use yeast to puff up the biscuits very large, and the bitterness is more obvious when you eat it, so it is more difficult to swallow. It's better not to add yeast at all, so that the chewiness will be better. ”
When the cooking squad leader heard this, he suddenly realized, "Oh, yes! Right! You see I'm confused when I cook, it turns out that when I make pastries, I always want to make the pastries soft and fragrant, so that the soldiers love to eat more, so I saw that you didn't use yeast and came over to say, but I didn't expect you to make bitter coffee biscuits, is this what the regiment commander requested, the regiment commander's taste is really heavy. ”
Meng Chuan saw that the cooking squad leader said directly, and it was difficult to say that he took the initiative to do it for Duan You, so he snorted, "Who knows what Lao Duan thinks in his heart, by the way, the pig you slaughtered today is enough for how many people to eat, and how much meat can an adult pig slaughter?" ”
The cooking squad leader slaughters pigs every day, so he knows this very well, "The pigs raised by our group are all big and fat, a 200-pound pig, even the bones and meat can produce almost 140 catties, enough for a battalion to eat a day." ”
The size of each battalion in Duan You is relatively normal, with an average of 600 people, which is enough for each person to eat two halves of meat a day, according to the minimum nutritional standards for adults, an adult needs to eat one or two halves of meat a day to meet the protein intake.
The soldiers were able to eat two halves of meat a day, which was a very reasonable amount.
I don't know how many pigs will be ruined by the old Duan to do the psychological training room, Duan You's regiment, five pigs will be slaughtered in a day, it seems to be a lot, but there are more than 3,000 people in their group, this psychological training room is destined not to be built very small, and the effect of building too small can not come out, it is estimated that the matter of pigs alone is enough for the headache of the logistics section chief.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the small biscuits in the oven were baked, Meng Chuan was just about to get them, and the cooking squad leader hurriedly rushed over, "Chief, this is hot, I'll take it, be careful not to burn you." ”
Can Meng Chuan still be afraid of burning? However, seeing that the cooking squad leader was so enthusiastic, he didn't rob them, "Okay, then you should be careful not to get burned." ”
The reason why the cooking squad leader is in such a hurry to get the biscuits is because Meng Chuan is indeed the chief, and he is a good brother with the head of the regiment, and he has a chance to perform, so he has to grasp it at all times; The second is that he really wants to see how Meng Chuan's little cookie is doing.
He has known Meng Chuan's cooking skills, the donkey last time was made by Meng Chuan himself, and the taste made is not too delicious, but the meat quality of donkey meat has always been very good, and it is normal and reasonable to make delicious food with good ingredients.
If the donkey is handed over to him, although he is not sure that he will be able to do it better than Meng Chuan, he is also confident that it will not be too much worse than Meng Chuan, after all, the ingredients are here, as long as people who know a little cooking skills, they can do it very well.
And now this little biscuit does not use any good ingredients, low-gluten flour is also the flour that is usually used to make pastries in the army, white sugar and milk, which are also existing in the army, so he really wants to see how Meng Chuan's cooking skills are and whether the small biscuits he makes are good.
As soon as I turned on the oven, there was a sudden fragrance from inside, and this fragrance confused the cooking squad leader? He didn't put flavors and fragrances, where did the fragrance come from?
But this doubt is fleeting, the cooking squad leader is a veteran, even if there is a doubt, you can put it in your stomach, don't worry about it now.
But when he put it on the plate, he still kept an eye on it, and put the spacing of the small biscuits a little bigger, so that if a plate can't fit it, there will be a few left, and the remaining few, Meng Chuan will definitely not take them, just leave them for himself to taste.
Meng Chuan didn't notice the careful eye left by the cooking squad leader, but he had made a few more preparations for them, after all, he had to leave something for them when he used their kitchen.
It takes a lot of effort for people to do their own work and clean up the remaining materials, and they can't use their things and don't leave some for them, which is unjustifiable.
