When i was in UK, I always liked to eat Scottish short bread. Those Biscuits reminded me of benne(Butter) biscuits made in Bangalore bakery. I always liked to eat them when i was a kid.
So recently, I started exploring to find the recipe for Benne Biscuit. One of my friend owns a Iyengar bakery and this is the recipe from there.
Ingredients
1.0 Maida (All purpose flour) - 1 cup
2.0 Baking Soda - 1/4 Tspoon
3.0 Powdered Sugar - 1/2 Cup
4.0 Cardamom - 2 pinch
5.0 Ghee(Home made) - 6-7 table Spoons
Step 1 - Mix all the above ingredients from 1.0 to 4.0 in a bowl.
Step 2 - Slowly put in the ghee and start to kneed.
Step 3 - Make sure there is not too much ghee and make it into a soft dough.
Step 4 - Keep the dough closed for at least 30mins
Step 5 - Make sure the Tray is placed in the middle rack of the oven.
Step 6 - Set the oven for 300degrees.
Step 7 - Make small dough's and put it on the tray with aluminium Foil.
Step 8 - Bake it for 15 - 17mins untill you see cracks on the biscuit.
Step 9 - The best way to know it has been baked or not is to touch the biscuit, the powder should not stick to your fingers. Also watch if the biscuit bottom is turned golden brown.
Step 10 - Enjoy the biscuit and don't forget to write back to me. :)
