Lime biscuits frequently asked questions - FAQ:
1. Should the dough be chilled before shaping?
No. After kneading, the dough is immediately shaped and placed on a baking sheet.
2. Can I use lemon instead of lime?
Yes. Lemon can replace lime in the same amount, but the taste will be slightly more pronounced and less mild.
3. Can I use something else instead of vanilla extract?
Yes. Instead of 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, you can use 10 g of vanilla sugar, ½ - 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste or 1⁄2 teaspoon of vanilla powder. If you use vanilla sugar, reduce the amount of powdered sugar by 10 g.
4. How do I know the lime cookies are baked?
The biscuits are ready when the edges are lightly browned, while the center remains light.
5. Should the lime cookies be soft when I take them out of the oven?
Yes. Freshly taken out biscuits are softer, and during cooling they harden and acquire a more crumbly texture.
6. How to store lime biscuits?
Store them in a tightly closed box, at room temperature, in a dry and dark place.
7. How long can lime cookies keep?
They are best during the first few days, and can last 5-7 days if stored properly.

Često postavljana pitanja za kekse sa limetom:

Ne. Testo se nakon mesanja odmah oblikuje i stavlja na pleh.

Da. Limun može da zameni limetu u istoj količini, ali će ukus biti nešto izraženiji i manje blag.

Da. Umesto 1 kasicice ekstrakta vanile mozete koristiti 10 g vanilin secera, ½ - 1 kasicice paste od vanile ili 1⁄2 kasicice vanile u prahu. Ako koristite vanilin secer, smanjite kolicinu secera u prahu za 10 g.

Keksi su gotovi kada ivice blago porumene, dok sredina ostaje svetla.

Cuvajte ih u dobro zatvorenoj kutiji, na sobnoj temperaturi, na suvom i tamnom mestu.
