Continuous production of biscuits with surface marking involves forming a soft or semi-liquid dough, placing the dough in portions on a conveyor, baking the portions in an oven and applying markings in sugar at the exit of the oven before the sugar has crystallized significantly and cooling the biscuits so that the sugar crystallizes and fixes the markings. Continuous production of biscuits having surface marking(s) involves: (1) forming a soft or semi-liquid dough containing (by weight) 25-40% flour, 0-5% starch material (preferably corn starch), 25-35% sugar, 0-10% fiber, 4-10% fat, 1-4% dairy product(s), 1-4% egg, 0.5-2% other ingredients and 17-25% added water; (2) dispensing individual portions of the dough on a conveyor (e.g. a belt); (3) baking the portions in an oven; (4) applying the marking(s) at the exit of the oven, before the sugar has crystallized significantly; and (5) cooling so that the sugar crystallizes and fixes the marking(s). An Independent claim is included for a biscuit with at least one marking, containing (by weight) 30-50% flour, 0-6% starch material (preferably corn starch), 30-45% sugar, 0-12% fiber, 5-13% fat, 1-5% dairy product(s), 1-5% egg, 0.6-2.5% other ingredients and less than 5% water. |
