Equipment

  • 1 Stand Mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup unsalted room temperature butter
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch of hing or asafoetida
  • 1 teaspoon each of Jeera or Cumin Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon each of Ajwain or Carraway seeds
  • 1.5 cups maida or all purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • I have used a Stand Mixture for this recipe
  • In a bowl of a stand mixer or mixing bowl, Add 3/4 cup unsalted room temperature butter
  • Add 3 tablespoons sugar
  • Add 1 teaspoon salt
  • Add 1 pinch of hing or asafoetida
  • Add 1 teaspoon each of Jeera and Ajwain or Carraway seeds
  • Cream the butter and other ingredients well, with my stand mixture it took around 3-4 minutes
  • Bring all the ingredients to the middle of the bowl when the mixture sticks to the sides of the bowl
  • Next add 1 cup of maida or all purpose flour and mix
  • In a second batch add 1/2 cup of maida or all purpose flour and mix all ingredients again
  • Using a spatula bring the ingredients to the centre of the bowl
  • Keep aside
  • Prepare a tray with baking paper or a cookie sheet, I have used a silicone cookie sheet from ikea
  • I have used a small size cookie scooper
  • Shape them round, keep them spaced out so that they don’t touch, after they spread
  • Place inside a middle row of your preheated oven, for 10-14 minutes
  • After baking remove from the oven and keep on a cooling tray for 10 minutes, this makes it crispy
  • I got around 18 biscuits from this recipe, enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee!
