MARBLED SHORTBREAD WITH GINGER AND TURMERIC



Marbled Shortbread With Ginger and Turmeric image

This cookie combines ground ginger and turmeric with roasted cashews and white chocolate. A simple shortbread dough, made with a larger ratio of butter to sugar, allows the complex flavors to shine. Shaping the dough into a rectangular block and cutting it into logs keeps things compact in the freezer while also allowing for easy and even slicing and baking. Thanks to the spices and aromatics, the cookies even get a little better with age. Don't worry about getting your swirls perfect. No matter how you do it, these cookies will be as beautiful as they are delicious.

Time 1h

Yield About 90 small cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/3 cups/425 grams unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
1 1/2 cups/180 grams confectioners' sugar (no need to sift)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 packed teaspoon orange zest (from about 1 orange)
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
1 cup/120 grams toasted salted cashews, lightly crushed with a rolling pin
4 ounces/115 grams good-quality white chocolate, roughly chopped (about 3/4 cup from a bar, block or fèves)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh orange juice or vanilla extract
1 tablespoon ground turmeric

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, ground ginger and baking powder.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with a hand mixer, beat together butter, sugar, salt and orange zest until lightened and fluffy, about 3 minutes, using a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a small bowl, crack the egg and whisk to lightly break up the yolk. With the mixer running on low speed, stream the egg into the creamed butter base to combine. Stop and scrape once again, paying close attention to the bottom of the bowl where the batter likes to sit, then add the freshly grated ginger and mix again on low speed just to incorporate.
  • Stop the mixer, scrape the bottom of the bowl with a spatula and add the flour mixture. Turn the mixer back to low speed to combine. When the mixture has just come together (about 30 seconds), remove the bowl from the mixer and clean off the beater with a spatula. Fold the mixture well to make sure there are no pockets of flour. Remove one quarter of the dough (about 8 ounces/225 grams) back to one of the bowls.
  • Return the larger portion of dough to the mixer and add the cashews and white chocolate just until just incorporated, 10 to 15 seconds; transfer the dough to a cutting board or work surface.
  • Transfer the quarter portion of dough to the mixer; add the orange juice and turmeric and mix until just incorporated, scraping with a rubber spatula as needed to combine mixture evenly. Remove the bowl from the mixer, fold over the dough a few times in the bowl, and place on your work surface.
  • Roughly divide the larger piece of dough into 3 pieces and your smaller turmeric-stained piece in half. Starting and ending with the larger pieces, sandwich the turmeric dough in an alternating pattern. Roll this sandwiched cookie formation into a log just to round, then fold it in half over itself, twisting it slightly as you do, and roll the log out again. (If the dough feels too sticky, use a bench knife or bowl scraper to help you move the dough around or sparingly dust the log with flour.)
  • Twist and fold the dough one more time (do not roll out). You should end up with a striated yellow-and-off-white mound of dough. Transfer to a parchment-lined 9-by-13-inch sturdy baking sheet with a 1-inch depth, and shape the dough into a 6-by-8-inch rectangle. Layer another piece of parchment over the dough, and use a rolling pin, roll back and forth over the edges of the pan to level and smooth the surface of the dough. (The pan edges support in creating an even thickness. If you do not have a pan with 1-inch depth, use a ruler to check your thickness.) Remove the parchment paper and use a bench knife or your hands to square off the edges slightly. No need to obsess, you'll trim later, cover once more with parchment and roll over with your pin to smooth the surface again.
  • Leaving the parchment paper on top, transfer the dough on the pan to the freezer for 1 to 2 hours to chill until firm. (If you are chilling it overnight or longer, it's best to wrap the dough with plastic wrap.)
  • When your dough is chilled, heat the oven to 300 degrees and move the racks to lower and upper middle positions.
  • Remove the block of dough from your freezer. Trim one long side and the adjoining short side to make a right angle, discarding scrap. Orient the block like a portrait and, using a ruler, measure and mark at 2-inch intervals at the top and bottom of your block. Using these markings and the ruler for a straight edge score, cut the block into three long, 2-by-8-inch logs of dough. (If you're not baking the logs right away, you can wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze them for up to 1 month.)
  • Working with one log at a time, slice into 1/4-inch-thick cookies. Lay sliced cookies onto parchment-lined baking sheets with at least 1/2 inch in between. (They do not spread much during baking). Bake cookies until they appear set, are bright yellow on top and the white chocolate appears a deep golden on the bottom, 13 to 15 minutes total, rotating trays at 8 minutes to ensure even coloring.
  • Remove trays from the oven and let cookies cool. (Transfer to a cooling rack if you'd like to speed this process up.) Repeat with remaining cookies, unless freezing for future use. Store cooled cookies in covered tins or other airtight containers for several weeks.

Time 1h20m

Yield 20 to 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup minced crystallized ginger (not in syrup)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and 1 cup of sugar on medium-low speed, just until they are combined. (Don¿t whip!) Add the vanilla and 2 teaspoons water and mix until combined. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until the dough starts to come together. Add the ginger, then dump onto a surface generously dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Roll the dough 3/8 inch thick and cut circles with a 2 3/4-inch plain round cookie cutter. Place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges start to brown.
  • Cool to room temperature and serve.

CURRANT-GINGER SHORTBREAD



Currant-Ginger Shortbread image

Creaming butter correctly, keeping butter doughs cold, and starting with fresh, good-tasting butter are vital details that professionals take for granted, and home bakers often miss. For mixing and creaming, butter should be about 65 degrees: cold to the touch but warm enough to spread. Just three degrees warmer, at 68 degrees, it begins to melt.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     easy

Time 45m

Yield About 4 dozen cookies.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, more for flouring paper
Pinch of fine salt
1/3 cup dried currants (see note)
1 packed tablespoon finely diced crystallized ginger.

Steps:

  • In a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar at medium speed until light and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add flour, salt, currants and ginger, and mix until well blended, about 3 minutes. Gather dough into a ball and flatten slightly.
  • Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper (or use nonstick baking mat). Place dough on paper or mat and roll out into a 10-inch square, an even 1/4-inch thick. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Position an oven rack in center of oven. Heat to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 10 1-inch-wide strips (if using mat, remove dough to a cutting surface first). Cut each strip into 1 1/2-inch-long rectangles. Gather and roll out scraps and cut out more cookies. (Triangles or cookie cutter shapes can be made as an alternative to rectangles.)
  • One sheet at a time, bake until edges are lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack and cool completely before storing in airtight containers up to 1 week.

GINGER SHORTBREAD



Ginger Shortbread image

This is a very tasty cookie with a bit of a kick from ginger. These go very well with tea. Please only use real butter - shortbread does not lend itself to any substitutions. My dear friend,Michelle,used to serve these and shared the recipe with me. The recipe is adapted from "Traditional Scottish Cookery" by Theodora Fitzgibbon. The amount of cookies you get will very depending upon how small you cut them. I like to use a shortbread mold. NOTE: If you can't find golden syrup (also known as Cane Syrup), you may subsitute corn syrup or honey - or mix honey & corn syrup together.

Millionaires Shortbread - Chocolate, Ginger and Caramel Slices image

A fun name with delicious layers of shortbread, caramel and a chocolate topping. This recipe has the added surprise of adding stem ginger pieces, which was not usual in my Mum's orginal recipe. These do keep for up to a week in an airtight tin or container.....I have never known them last more then 24 hours however - you WILL have to HIDE them!!! They a great for packed lunches and picnics, as well as with afternoon coffee.

Yield 16 Millionaire's Shortbread Slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

225 g butter shortbread cookies
125 g butter, melted
150 g butter
150 g soft brown sugar
397 g carnation condensed milk
75 g stem ginger in syrup, drained and chopped (optional)

115 g milk chocolate, melted
2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • You will need:.
  • A square baking tin, 20cm (8"), greased and base-lined with baking parchment or paper.
  • To make the base, process the biscuits until they are like crumbs then stir in the melted butter. Spoon this mixture into the tin and, very lightly, press to make an even layer. Chill for 20 minutes.
  • Place the butter and the sugar in a nonstick saucepan over a low heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Add the condensed milk and bring gently to the boil, stirring continuously to make a golden caramel, which is thick and yet still coats the back of a spoon.
  • Spoon the caramel over the crumb base, cover and leave to to cool for 20 to 30 minutes or until the caramel has thickened.
  • Sprinkle the chopped ginger over the caramel base if using. Stir 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil into each bowl of melted chocolate. Pour the dark chocolate over the caramel, spreading it out to the edges. Repeat with the milk chocolate, then swirl them slightly to create a pattern.
  • Leave aside to set. When the chocolate has hardened a little, but before it has set hard, cut into slices, and enjoy with a cup of coffee.
  • Hide the remaining slices from all other family members and friends!
