TIME TO BAKE MALTED MILK BISCUITS

 Mahalaxmimaltextract provides the various types of malt extract including Biscuit and confectionery malt extract. I have heard many people talking about the biscuit and confectionery malt extract and in the period of lockdown many of them have tried making recipes with it. Were you one of them? If not, Let’s try it out together. But before trying, did you know that you can use this extract only in baked products but also in beer and do you want to know how we prepare this malt extract?

At first, the steeping process takes place in which specialty grain is soaked and crushed   in hot water to extract color and some flavor compounds from the grain.  The steeped grains are then moved to a room where temperature and humidity are carefully maintained to ensure that the grain germinates evenly.  The enzymes involved in this steep are responsible for the degradation of starch in the extraction process.

The germination process is halted by kilning when the optimum degree of enzyme production and starch modification has been attained. All these steps end up at a product called wort. The wort is then concentrated by evaporation under vacuum until the desired moisture content is reached. Colour and flavour, sweet essence etc. can be controlled by altering residence time at this stage. Atlast the liquid malt extract is filtered, cooled and packaged in different sizes. A dry malt extract powder is also produced by processing the wort in a spray-drying tower.

OK, done with the process. Now it's time to bake something.

Knead the dough properly and then flatten it into a disc, wrap in clingfilm.

Chill it for at least 1 hour

After chilling it, roll to 5mm thickness and cut different shapes for biscuits as per your desire.

Place the pieces at least 2 cm apart on baking sheets lined with baking parchment and then chill for 30-45 minutes

Preheat the oven and cook them for 20-22 minutes only until they start changing their colour.

Then remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 

Voila! We are done making it. It’s time to Grab a Bite.
