Bishkoty

30 minutes

Bishkoty are airy cookies from Bulgarian cuisine, known for their lightness and tenderness. Their roots trace back to the traditions of European pastry schools, where such biscuits were used as a base for cakes and desserts. Bishkoty have a crispy texture with a subtle aroma of vanilla and caramelized sugar. Their sweetness is balanced by the lightness of the egg white batter, and the coating in sugar adds an exquisite flavor. These biscuits pair perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea and can also be used in desserts like tiramisu. A simple recipe with minimal ingredients makes them accessible for home preparation. Baked to a golden-brown color, they become a delightful treat for family tea times and festive gatherings.
