Composition of biscuit

Let's move on to the composition of the biscuit. He is very simple. The classic biscuit consists of flour, sugar and eggs. The proportions of these three products may vary depending on the recipe and the desired height of the biscuit. One of the recipe options is presented below.

Important! When baking a biscuit, do not open the oven for the first 25 minutes, as the biscuit may fall due to a sharp temperature change.

Types of biscuits

Note that this is a basic recipe. There is another type of biscuit - chiffon. It differs from the classic only in that it contains butter. This component makes it more tender, moist, but, of course, more high-calorie, unfortunately. The calorie content of suchbiscuit, compared with the usual increases by almost 2 times!

There are also eggless biscuit recipes. As a rule, milk and vegetable oil are added to such a biscuit, which in no way reduces its calorie content. The calorie content of a biscuit with eggs is on average 260 kcal, while a biscuit without eggs is about 280 kcal.

You can optionally add nuts, cocoa powder or carob, dried fruits, candied fruit, lemon, orange or lime zest, poppy seeds, finely crushed chocolate to the biscuit. But keep in mind that any additives change the calorie content of the biscuit. This means that you need to calculate it based on the initial ingredients.

What is the calorie content of a biscuit in 100 grams?

As mentioned earlier, the calorie content of this dessert varies depending on its composition. The calorie content of a biscuit prepared according to the classic recipe can be 258 kcal per 100 grams of the finished product. The ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates is 5.9 g / 0.8 g / 56.3 g. That is, the percentage is as follows: 9/3/87%. As you can see, carbohydrates predominate in the composition of the biscuit. Eating them in large quantities will not only slow down weight loss, but can also lead to a set of hated kilograms. You can argue endlessly about whether a biscuit and products made from it are harmful or useful. But one thing is for sure: it will not harm your he alth and figure, if you allow yourself this delicacy no more than 3 times a week and eat it in moderation.
