Butter Biscuit Recipe in Oven

  • To a mixing bowl - add 1/2 cup butter at room temperature and 1/4 cup powdered sugar. You can just powder regular granulated white sugar using a mixer and use it.
  • Beat well using a whisk until creamy.
  • Now to a sieve add 1 cup flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. I have used wheat flour here, you can use maida too.
  • Sieve well.
  • Now mix well with your finger tips to bring together(Do not knead). Soft dough ready.
  • Shape as a log as shown below.
  • Cling wrap it.
  • Refrigerate it at least for an hour or until firm. After an hour open, slice into 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10 mins. Arrange in baking tray. Prick with fork in the center to avoid puffing.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye, when it starts to brown at edges its done. Let it cool then store.
  • Butter Biscuit without oven(Stove top)
  • To a pot add salt and spread it around 1/2 inch thickness.Place a stand on it.Close with lid.

  • Close with lid and cook for around 12-15 minutes in low medium flame.
  • Cook until the edges turn golden. Remove carefully and allow it to cool.
  • Butter Biscuits is ready!

Notes

  • The baking time may vary depending on the thickness and size of the biscuits so adjust accordingly.
  • The biscuits will be slightly soft when removed from oven and will turn crisp after cooling down.
  • These are slice and bake kind of biscuits. But if you prefer, you can use cookie cutters to produce heart shaped biscuits, doll shaped and shapes as per your liking.
  • You can make the dough, refrigerate it well ahead of time. Slice and bake biscuits as and when needed.
  • Do not reduce butter then the texture may differ. I have tried with 1/3 cup and it works, if the dough does not come together add few drops milk.
  • You can replace white sugar with brown sugar too.
  • You can replace wheat flour with maida / all purpose flour.
  • Use mentioned salt and sugar. If you wish to make it with only salt, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of powdered sugar. You can taste the flour dough before making to adjust salt & sugar matching your preference.
