Steps:
- 1. Heat the samn balady until almost boiling. 2. Add the baking powder and the spices to the flour. 3. Carefully add the flour to the hot samn balady and stir with a wooden spoon. 4. Keep stirring and stirring and stirring. 5. When you get tired (honestly this is part of the recipe as given to me by my friend's mother in law, ... tired = your arms are ready to fall off) then you can stop stirring. Her recipe said not to use a wooden spoon but to knead the flour into the hot samna, but I do not do that part. I have not tried using a food processor. 6. When the mixture cools down a little, but is still warm, (ie you can knead it with your hands without causing permanent damage), add the instant yeast to the milk with a teaspoon of sugar, then stir gently into the dough. 7. Knead it for a short while, cover and let it rest. (Officially you should shape the kahk now and let it rest later). 8. After an hour or so you can start shaping the dough with your hands into little balls and then flatten them. 9. You can add nuts, agwa, or other filling when you are making it into balls. 10. Put them in a cookie tray and let them rest for a little. 11. Then put them in a preheated oven (345 F), and watch them. Usually 15 minutes is enough. 12. Take them out, wait until they cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar just before eating.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final product. Opt for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Work with cold butter: Cold butter is easier to work with and will result in a more flaky cookie. Make sure to chill the butter before using it.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will result in a tough, dry cookie. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: Baking the cookies at a moderate temperature will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Let the cookies cool before serving: Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Kahk is a delicious and versatile cookie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, kahk is a great recipe for beginner bakers. Whether you are making them for a special occasion or just as a snack, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
