Butter Biscuit Recipe


Well, I tried to make something that I always loved it when I was kid. Come home from school and then have tea/milk and butter biscuit along with it. If you have not tried this before - do it immediately. Make a hot cup of tea and dip the butter biscuit and eat it. It so yummy that until the packet got empty I would keep repeating. If you dont believe me ask my elder sis who will affirm that :)

So to make the biscuit small 30 in number. You will need
1. 2/3 cup all purpose flour or maida
2. 1/3 cup sugar (preferably powedered)
3. 1/3 cup unsalted butter
4. 2 cardomam

Steps:
1. Beat the butter and sugar in pan - till it become smooth and easy to stir
2. Add flour in small portions and keep mixing it becomes a dough.
3. Finally add the cardamom and re-knead the dough
4. Preheat oven to 350F/200C
5. Make small bolls and flatten them slightly like a thick Rs5 coin in India
6. Place these flattened balls on a baking sheet or aluminum foil with butter greased on it for 15 to 20 minutes.
7. Let it cool and enjoy the freshly baked biscuits.

New Year Resolution for 2011

My new year resolution for the year 2011 is to try 100 different new recipes that I have never made before.. The minute I decided this, many things came to my mind. Most were Indian cuisine/savory items that I bought and ate but never thought about doing it myself. So this is my challenge to myself to try each of them. Again, I couldnt resist myself and started with my countdown today itself. A little cheating - but guys whats life if not without some cheating in it....
