Homemade Two-Tone Biscuits

Since we are in the cold season, when you look forward most to getting home and having a cup of warm milk or hot tea, I thought we should have something good to eat along with it. I made some biscuits that aren't too heavy, to be eaten with those you hold dear :)

The ingredients you need are:

800 gr flour

300 gr brown sugar

5 eggs

2 tablespoons cocoa

2 packets vanilla sugar

a handful of raisins

2 handfuls of semi-crushed walnuts

1 teaspoon cinnamon

100 grams white chocolate

200 grams melted butter

4 tablespoons oil

1 pinch of salt

1 packet baking powder

zest of one orange

To start, we make the base for the biscuits, then divide it into two bowls. We begin by beating the whites of the 5 eggs until they form a foam, then we mix the yolks with the sugar in a separate bowl. After the sugar has dissolved, we gently incorporate half of the flour and the baking powder activated with lemon juice. Once it's well mixed, we add the beaten egg whites and mix gently. Next comes the melted butter (but not hot), the salt, and the oil.

Now it is time to divide the dough into two bowls.

In the mixture for the white biscuits, we add the raisins, vanilla sugar, and the white chocolate broken into small pieces. After mixing well, we add 200 gr of flour to obtain a thicker composition, so we can shape the biscuits.

In the mixture for the dark biscuits, we add the walnuts, cinnamon, and grated orange zest. We proceed the same way here, meaning that after mixing well, we add the final 200 grams of flour.

Decorate the biscuits however you think looks best. I thought that since there is no snow outside, at least there should be some on the biscuits :). I decorated them with sugar flakes.

Now all that's left is to shape our wonderful biscuits and put them in the oven for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.

Enjoy, my dears!
