Ingredients
 

  • 150 grm or ¾ cup home-made makhan or butter
  • 150 grm dalda ghee - or desi ghee
  • 1 tbsp jeera
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp curd
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 125 grm or 1 cup wheat flour
  • 125 grm or 1 cup maida
  • 2 tbsp fine rava
  • Oil or ghee for greasing

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add 125 grams of homemade makhan and 50 grams of ghee. Mix well and beat it for 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
  • Next, add 1 tablespoon of jeera, salt, 2 tablespoons of curd, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of baking soda. Mix well.
  • Then, sieve 125 grams of wheat flour, 125 grams of maida, and 2 tablespoons of rava. Mix well and knead the dough.
  • Cover the dough with a plastic sheet and refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes.
  • Take out the dough from the refrigerator and pinch small ball-sized portions of dough. Shape the biscuits using a round-shaped spoon. Avoid shaping the biscuits with your hands.
  • To bake the biscuits in an appe pan, keep the gas flame on low-medium. Place a flame pan on the gas and arrange the appe pan on top.
  • Cover the lid and preheat the appe pan for 10 minutes.
  • Also, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.
  • Place the biscuits into the preheated appe pan and cook them on low flame for 35-40 minutes.
  • Alternatively, if using the oven, bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes. The baking time may vary depending on your oven. Avoid over-baking the biscuits, as they will become hard.
  • Initially, the biscuits will be soft. Allow them to cool completely, and they will turn crisp and crunchy.
  • Serve or store the biscuits in an airtight container and enjoy them for up to a week.

Notes

  • Whisk home-made white butter and ghee, so it becomes light and fluffy.
  • Curd gives flavor and helps to activate baking powder and baking soda.
  • The proportion of wheat flour and maida should be equal.
  • Rava gives a crumbly texture to biscuit
  • Just combine everything into biscuit dough, do not knead it.
  • Refrigerator biscuit dough for 20-25 minutes, so it will properly set.
  • do not give a smooth shape to the biscuit.
  • Pre-heat appe pan or oven before baking biscuit.
  • Do not overbake biscuit otherwise, it will become hard.
  • Cool down and bake the biscuit entirely and store it in an air-tight container.
