Plain Biscuits

The term biscuit refers to different forms and shapes to soft and hard ones. They can be either sweet or savory and mostly are eaten as a snack. Biscuits or cookies are used interchangeably and may or may not contain choice of fillings. These are delightful when they are golden crusty both top and bottom.

  • Sift flour and baking powder. Keep aside.
  • Beat powdered sugar and melted butter till light and fluffy.
  • Now slowly add in the sifted flour and baking powder and fold in the mixture with a spatula. ( Donot run the mixer or the beater. Just fold in with the help of a spatula.)
  • Once all the ingredients are folded well, add cold milk and mix.
  • Knead to a hard dough and keep covered with damp kitchen towel for about an hour. Keep aside covered.
  • After an hour, knead once again and divide into equal small portions.
  • These small portions can be shaped into ones choice or preference and place them on a cookie sheet.
  • Preheat the oven at 250 degrees. Once preheated place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake till light brown. (check in between to avoid over browning)
