How to make MF Nutmeg shortbread.

 

How are you being all my fellow foodie friends? At MF Products we hope that you have enjoyed the day in the snow because we sure have. Snow in England comes at a very rare occurrence, however when it does come we sure do you know how to make good use of it. Imagine an entire day in the cold snow, playing with family and friend but then you get home and it's time to warm up. Do you know what you need? MF Coffee and some biscuits. Well if that’s what You're in the mood for that MF products can provide you with our great shortbread recipe as well as our excellent blend of coffee. We present to you the MF Nutmeg shortbread recipe.

The origins of shortbread can be drawn back to about the 12th Century when butter or lard was added to bread dough, thus the name shortbread. It wasn’t until the 17th Century when sugar was introduced to the UK that it became more of a sweet biscuit, as we know it today. With our nutmeg adaptation, we do not doubt that it will become a family favourite.

Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

-          1 1/3 cups flour

 

-          1 teaspoon MF Nutmeg, grounded

 

-          1/4 pound cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

 

-          6 tablespoons sugar

 

-          1 large egg yolk

 

Method:

1)      Heat the oven to 325°. Butter an 8-inch round metal cake or pie pan.

 

2)      In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and 3/4 teaspoon of the MF Nutmeg. With your fingers, massage in the butter completely until the mixture is the texture of sand. Using a fork, stir in 5 tablespoons of the sugar. Stir in the egg yolk. Press the mixture together to make a dry, crumbly dough and put it on a work surface. Knead the dough about twelve times until it just holds together.

 

 

3)      Press the dough in an even layer into the prepared pan. With a small, sharp knife, mark eight wedges halfway into the dough. With a fork, prick the dough every 1/2 inch or so. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon MF Nutmeg and sprinkle it on the dough. Bake the shortbread in the middle of the oven until golden, 50 to 55 minutes.

 

4)      Let the shortbread cool slightly in the pan set on a rack and then cut into wedges. Let cool completely in the pan.

What can coffee do for your skin?

Good morning everyone, welcome back to another edition of The MF Products Blog. Today we’re going to be looking at coffee and what it can do for you cosmetically. Specifically, the largest organ on your body. No, its not the liver. It’s in fact, the skin. Yes! The skin that’s all over your body is indeed an organ and since it’s everywhere we should take the most care with it. At least that’s what we think at MF Products .   Anyways, many people go through life having sensitive skin and they endure this treacherous and tedious search in trying to find that ‘special’ cream that will magically dispose of any breakouts or redness when really there’s a game changer right in front of them (not literally, but you get where I’m going with this). The truth is… MF Coffee has been the saviour this whole time. In fact, a study was published that showed that Japanese women between the ages of 30 to 60 who drank coffee had significantly less markers of aging. So that meant less wrinkles ...

How to make the MF Soursop smoothie.

  Good evening MF Blog readers, we hope you all are staying active during this cold Christmas season. As the year draws to a close, MF Products still have a variety of tasty recipes to broadcast and this week we will be looking at how we can use our MF Soursop to make some delightful treats. Today we will be making our very own MF Soursop smoothie with bananas and almonds. We chose bananas due it’s alpha and beta carotene content when consumed by the body, this then turns in vitamin A. Bananas are also a good source of potassium and due to its low water content, it contains more calories and is more filling. This pairs wonderfully with the benefits of soursop (previously mentioned in another blog) as it; possesses antioxidants, fights against bacteria, and boosts the immune system. Almonds are also very beneficial as they contain unsaturated fats, fibre, magnesium as well as protein. When adding all three ingredients together, this is a very healthy smoothie that will help to ...

What is the best type of coffee?

Good evening my MF Product Blog readers, it’s been a while but we’re back with more content for you guys. Today, we saw a reader ask, “Out of all the different types of coffee, which one is the best?” and we believe it’s a great question. However, we also think that it depends on what you’re drinking for and that is what we will be investing in todays MF Blog . So, without further ado let’s get into this. A good cup of coffee is one that does whatever job it is that you assign it. Whether it be the most rank, percolated cup of coffee that you’re in dire need off for that extra boost or the most complex mocha made with MF Coffee that finesses your tongue with a touch of foam while you eat an olive shortbread. I know, fancy. The point is that there are so many variations of coffee to tickle your fancy. So, given that there are lattes, cappuccinos, and mochas the point this is that, while the ingredients are simple, the experience is not. There is nothing crazy about ordering a capp...
