Sweet and Salt Biscuits Recipe
Sweet and salt biscuits are those bakery style cookies that everyone likes to enjoy with tea or coffee. They are crisp, light and with a nice balance of mild sweet and salty taste which makes it so addictive. Once you start eating, you will not stop with just one. so I keep making them often.

Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour / maida
- ⅓ cup butter at room temperature
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoon powdered sugar / icing sugar
- ¼ cup minus 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- 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 15 minutes.
- Now using a rolling pin, roll the dough to a slightly thin layer about ⅛ inch thickness.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10 minutes.
- 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 minutes or until it turns golden.
- Store Sweet & Salt Biscuits in an airtight container.
Notes
- Do not knead too much – Just mix and bring the dough together, that’s enough. If you keep kneading hard then biscuits will turn tough and not crispy.
- Roll it thin – Make sure to roll the dough thin, so it bakes well and comes out crisp. If it is rolled thick then the middle part stays soft and not nice.
- Always preheat oven – Preheating for 10 minutes is must, else the biscuits may not bake evenly. Hot oven gives that nice golden finish.
- Keep a eye while baking – Time depends on how thick or thin you roll. After 10 minutes check once, when the edges start to brown you can switch off.
- Try flavoring – You can add jeera, ajwain or even pepper to give different taste. Each time it feels like a new biscuit.
