After completing this course, you’ll have a deep understanding of what happens when you modify a biscuit recipe — from how different fats influence texture to how sugars and egg whites affect structure and flavor. 

You’ll apply these insights through a series of guided experiments that lead to five distinctive biscuit recipes: classic sablé, nut sablé, chocolate sablé, shortbread-style sablé, and a modern filled biscuit.

By the end, you’ll be able to analyze, adjust, and invent your own recipes with confidence, transforming baking to true creative mastery.

A list of recommended ingredients and equipment is provided in the workbook preview. While it’s helpful to review in advance, you don’t need everything to get started - workarounds are often possible.

Yes, you can watch the lessons at your own pace. The course is divided into short videos totaling around 2 hours, and you’re free to pause, resume, and revisit the content anytime during your access period.

While the online courses don’t include a live Q&A, we’ve anticipated many common questions. The instructor addresses key tips and potential pitfalls in the videos, and the workbook includes a detailed troubleshooting section to guide you through the process.
