Step-by-step cooking

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to bake a biscuit in a slow cooker so that it turns out lush and airy? Everything is very simple. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take the flour of the highest grade. Eggs need large selected ones; if the eggs are small, take 5-6 pieces. Vegetable oil preferably sunflower oil without a characteristic smell. Lemonade - any yellow color.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Beat eggs with a mixer or in a kitchen machine with sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy. The mass should increase in volume by about 3-4 times.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Continuing to beat, pour in vegetable oil and lemonade. The mass will immediately liquefy strongly.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Sift flour with baking powder and add parts to the dough, beating each time until smooth at the lowest speed. You can also mix with a spatula, but then flour lumps may remain in the dough. You may take more or less flour than I do. Be guided by the consistency of the dough.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    The dough will turn out like liquid sour cream. It will be slightly more liquid than a classic sponge cake.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Pour the dough into the bowl of the slow cooker. There is no need to lubricate the bowl with anything. There is enough oil in the dough already.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Set the slow cooker to the "Baking" mode and bake the biscuit for about 65 minutes (or 1 hour 5 minutes like mine). It is advisable not to open the slow cooker, otherwise the biscuit will settle. After the signal, set the time for another 60-65 minutes. It is not necessary to turn over such a biscuit. It will turn red on top well enough. Since everyone has different slow cookers and the baking temperature can also be different, focus on your technique in time. I have a baking temperature of 130 degrees.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    After the end of baking and the beep, turn off the slow cooker. Leave the biscuit to cool for another 20 minutes under the lid.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Then turn the baking bowl onto the stands (the biscuit will not fall out of the bowl) and leave to cool in a suspended state until completely cooled.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    This is the finished biscuit in the cut. It is evenly baked, lush, porous, airy and soft. Enjoy your meal!

Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. To avoid mistakes, read about flour and its properties!

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode are indicated approximately in the recipe. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique. 

Is it possible to replace baking powder with soda, how to add them correctly so that the baking is lush, how to avoid an unpleasant soda taste and much more, read the article "Baking powder or baking soda - which is better?"   

If you bake a biscuit in the oven, then bake at 180 degrees for about 30-40 minutes. And another 15-20 minutes in the cooling oven. Do not open the door. Next, also flip the mold onto the stands. Depending on the diameter of the shape, the biscuit will turn out higher or lower.
