Ingredients

Scale

250 g Maïzena
100 g beurre doux
100 g lait concentré sucré

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) for even baking.
In a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds. Add the sweetened condensed milk to the melted butter, mixing until combined.
Gently fold in the Maïzena with a spatula until just incorporated—avoid overmixing to ensure the biscuits remain tender; about 10 to 12 gentle folds should be sufficient.
Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of the dough (about 20 g each) and roll them into small balls. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
Bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and they feel firm to the touch, while the centers may remain slightly pale.
Allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Keywords: To enhance flavor, consider adding vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the dough. For a slightly healthier twist, you can substitute butter with a plant-based butter alternative. These biscuits freeze well for up to one month. Just ensure they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
