    About Butter Biscuit

    Butter Biscuit and Tea are match made in bakeries that is craved by many of us to enjoy it at home. Butter Biscuit varies in texture and taste at different regions – soft, crispier, medium hard, salt, sweet, etc. The variation in texture is because of the proportion of the butter added & the taste with the proportion of the salt & sweet.

    Butter Biscuit – Tea Shop to home

    Butter Biscuit as we all know is a common snack at tea shops. I wanted to try these biscuits as gugu is very fond of it. Once when he accompanied his appa to a tea shop, that’s when he tasted these biscuits and he kept reminding me often to try these. He was all praise for the butter biscuit and explained in his own language that it is a melt in mouth biscuit that he love to eat often. I became inquisitive to make it a home, finally I found this recipe and tried it. I was very happy to see him enjoying these and mittu loved it too as she loves all types homemade biscuits and cookies. I used wheat flour but still the biscuits tasted so good. So I recommend to try and enjoy.

    Butter Biscuit Betterment

    I did couple of iterations to match the taste the Butter Biscuit that Gugu had at tea shop and the biscuit that was made with full maida / all purpose flour was the perfect match! However since I do not prefer adding maida often, I am presenting this recipe with wheat flour which is closest in taste to bakery biscuits and very easy to make. I was very happy to see Gugu enjoying the wheat flour butter biscuits.

    Butter Biscuit – With & Without Oven

    I had originally made this recipe by baking with oven. There were quiet a number of requests from readers asking for version of butter biscuits without oven! So I have presented the Butter Biscuit making in stove top version as well. Try the method you are most convenient of!

    Ingredients

    • Flour : I have used homemade wheat flour. You can use store bought flour or white flour as well. All Purpose Flour or maida is better tasty alternative but should not be consumed often.
    • Butter : I have used homemade butter and you can use store bought butter also. When you are getting from store, make sure it is unsalted, else we have to adjust salt accordingly.
    • Salt & Sugar: Use equal amount of salt and sugar for a sweet & salt taste. If you wish to make it salt, add a pinch of sugar to the prescribed salt quantity and vice versa if you prefer sweet butter biscuit.  You can taste the flour dough before making to adjust salt & sugar matching your preference.
