Recipe: Mother’s Day Biscuits

Kalmeijer helps bakers perfectly respond to the demand for sweet, playful, and contemporary treats for Mother’s Day. A beautiful and heart‑warming example is our recipe for Mother’s Day biscuits: a classic shortbread dough that, with a touch of beetroot powder, takes on a subtle pink hue. Ideal for celebrating mothers in a special way.

Ingredients

• 100% flour
• 50% brown sugar
• 55% cold butter
• 8.3% egg yolk
• 1.5% baking powder
• 3% lemon zest
• 1.6% beetroot powder

Method

• Mix the cold butter (cut into coarse pieces) with the sugar and lemon zest.
• Sift the flour and baking powder and mix them with the beetroot powder.
• Briefly mix the dough until just combined – do not overmix to prevent toughness.
• Let the dough rest overnight in the refrigerator, then knead briefly until smooth just before use.
• Optionally garnish with (white) chocolate.

Process the dough using the Biscuit Machine KGM and use either the Scalloped Roller (no. 1340‑900) or the Heart Roller (no. 1340‑905). The result: a beautifully pink‑colored cookie, perfect for Mother’s Day.

With Kalmeijer machines, you can easily produce contemporary cookies that perfectly meet the growing demand for variety.
