夏果俄罗斯茶饼 Macadamia Russian Tea Cakes

Kenneth那里有不少的饼干食谱，样样都很吸引我，不过由于时间有限，只能选几款来做而已。这款夏果俄罗斯茶饼不止名字特别，连外形都很吸引我，茶饼里面就加入了夏威夷果，而外面就裹上一层的糖份，吃起来脆脆又甜甜的。


久没烤饼干了显得有点生疏，尤其是需要处理较软的面团，不过放入冰箱冷藏过面团就比较好处理。烤好的第一盘茶饼外形有点不一样，感觉塌了下来，像半圆球状，这和在Kenneth那里看到的有点不同，所以我就赶紧问一问Kenneth，过后发觉可能是较油的关系，所以我在剩下的面团里加入少许的面粉，第二盘烤出来的茶饼外形就好很多了。虽然这食谱里是用了夏威夷果，不过可以随各人的喜好换成其他坚果，我做了两份食谱，一份放了夏威夷果，而另一份放了杏仁碎，两款坚果吃起来都不错。

糖粉 50克

2. 将牛油与50克的糖粉打至变浅黄松发，筛入面粉，用刮刀拌至均匀。加入切碎夏威夷果，香草香精和盐，搅拌至均匀即可。

3. 将面团放入冰箱冷藏大约10至15分钟直到有些硬化。

4. 以1/2汤匙勺出面团，放在掌心搓圆成球状，然后放在烤盘里。将烤盘放入冰箱里烤10至12分钟。

5. 茶饼一烤好后就立即放入装着糖粉的碗里，将茶饼滚上糖粉，然后取出放在烤网上待凉。当茶饼完全冷却后再次将茶饼放入碗里滚上糖粉。将茶饼储存在密封的容器中。
