Total Time 25 minutes mins
1x 2x 3x
1 cup plain flour / maida 1/3 cup butter at room temperature 3/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoon powdered sugar / icing sugar 1/4 cup minus 1 tablespoon milk
In a mixing bowl – take butter and powdered sugar. Whisk it well without any lumps.
Now add flour. After adding the flour, add salt, mix well then add milk and bring it together to form a soft dough.
Allow it to rest for 15mins.
Now using a rolling pin, roll the dough to a slightly thin layer about 1/8 inch thickness.
Meanwhile, preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10mins.
Cut using a cookie cutter of your choice. Collect the scrap and repeat the same.
Arrange this in a baking tray, prick holes with a fork to avoid puffing.
Bake at 180 Deg C for 12-15 mins or until it turns golden.
Store Sweet & Salt Biscuits in an airtight container.
Do not knead too much just knead to bring it together that's enough else the cookies will turn out hard.
Do not roll thick.
These biscuits are mild sweet, if you want increase sugar.
You can jeera / ajwain for flavored biscuits.
The timing depends on the thickness of the cookies so keep an eye after 10mins, when it starts to brown at the edges switch off.
Keeps well for about a week in airtight container.
My cookie cutters are very small so got many cookies. So the quantity depends on the type and size of cookie cutter you use.
I did not have butter paper so baked directly in the tray but I recommend laying a baking sheet / butter paper / aluminium foil
