Everyone loves to munch something in the tea time and best partner of tea is biscuit. Biscuit is something we have with us by default, whether we r travelling or going for work we make sure we have a packet with us every time as an emergency food. How about if those things can be made at home.. So next time don't buy it just bake it and trust me it takes just 10 minutes of effort and other 10 minutes the oven will work for you.


Ingredients:

  1. 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour / maida
  2. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  3. 1 pinch salt, skip if using salted butter
  4. 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  5. 1/2 cup sugar
  6. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  7. 2 tablespoon milk
  8. 1/4 cups broken almonds
Directions:
  • Preheat the oven at 180 degrees for at least 10 minutes.
  • Take the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix it properly.
  • In another bowl take butter and whisk it till smooth.
  • Add sugar to butter and whisk for another 2 minutes
  • Then add vanilla extract and milk and mix it properly.
  • Add dry ingredients and almonds and fold them till soft dough is formed.
  • In a lightly floured surface roll the dough till 1/2" thickness.
  • Use circle cookie cutter to cut into biscuit shape.
  • Place on a lightly greased baking tray few inches apart.
  • Bake them for 10 minutes in pre heated oven or till edges are brown.
  • Let it cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then remove them and cool it in a cooling rack completely.

Note: If  you don't have a cookie cutter then you can use a wide mouth bottle cap or a small steel bowl.
