How to Make Amerikaner German Vanilla Biscuit
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add ½ cup milk and 2 large eggs, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ cup cornstarch.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Using two tablespoons, drop rounded heaps of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each biscuit. The dough will spread during baking.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional Lemon Glaze: Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle or spread over the cooled biscuits.
- Optional Hedgehog Biscuits: Spread chocolate icing on the curved side of the cooled biscuits and stick slivered almonds into the icing to create a hedgehog design.
