Bizcocho de Moya

I bought from my mother as a homecoming gift,  Bizcocho de moya - biscuits, from Las Palmas. Mum told me that they were super delicious. I decided to try to make those biscuits on my home.

Moya - biscuit was originally born from a mistake. The original baker burned them and decided to cover this with a white gloss. The idea from biscuit is that those baked twice in the oven.

I tried make these yesterday, but i didn`t read the recipe correctly. For example, glazing was not right at all. Today i found better recipe and biscuits were better.

Bizcocho de Moya

Biscuit:

4 egg white

1 egg yolk

2 dl sugar

2,5 dl  flour

lemon peel 

Glazing:

½ lemon juice 

2 dl icing sugar

4 egg white

First heat the oven to 170 degrees.

Separate egg whites and yolks. In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until the foam is hard and add 1 dl of sugar. Whisk the yolk and 1 dl of sugar in another bowl.

Grate half a lemon peel. Mix the yolk foam with the egg white foam and mix until smooth. Add flour. Add the grated lemon peel and mix gently until smooth.

Place the dough on baking paper and in the oven at 170 degrees for 50 minutes. After that, turn off the oven and let the cakes for another 15 minutes there. (I'm not sure if this was the idea of ​​the original instruction, but this is how i do it.)

Take the biscuits out of the oven and when they cooled, cut it rectangular shaped pieces. (this mine were not rectangular in shape. 😀)

Then make the glazing. Squeeze half juice out of lemon. 

Whisk 4 egg whites, add icing sugar, and lemon juice. Whisk until its white foam. Then paint every biscuit of this glazing and put it into oven for an hour at 150 degrees. 

During this hour i add more glazing  top of the cakes oven door open. 

At least these seemed original. 😆each piece is different size and shape. This biscuits tasted very good! especially glazing taste like candy floss. These should be dipped in milk, juice or coffee.
