White Twists. Egg Whites and Lemon. My kitchen is often the stage for mishaps and new proposals. Some of these, like custard, tiramisu, and fresh pasta made with just yolks, always leave a little “side effect”: excess egg whites! I didn’t want to make the usual meringues, so I thought and thought…
To avoid waste, I was looking for a genius idea. It occurred to me to try a new recipe: the combination of ingredients used for biscuit making. I rolled up my sleeves and started kneading. Simplicity and taste. I gave them the signature twist design, and while waiting for them to bake, I sat in front of the oven to see the result. Meanwhile, in no time, the scent was immediately noticeable, and the aesthetic result was a perfect rustic twist, with a porous and crunchy texture, perfect for dunking. A small, but exquisite, victory against waste.

The beauty of these biscuits also lies in the simplicity of the preparation. Few steps and guaranteed success.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and finally add the butter. Knead well…
And create your twists. Once the dough is finished, roll the surface in granulated sugar.
Place them on trays lined with a baking mat and bake in a preheated oven for about twenty minutes at 390°F. Your twists are ready, just waiting to be enjoyed! And I assure you, they go perfectly with a good white wine… Not just with coffee and milk.
Want to store the twists?
First of all, let them cool well, then store them in a paper bag; they keep at room temperature for a week or more. You can also add chocolate chips to make them more indulgent or raisins or dried blueberries.
