wheat sweet recipe | button sweet recipe | simple aate ki mithai with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and simple dessert snack recipe made with wheat flour, milk powder in sugar syrup. the sweets are shaped like small and tiny buttons and hence it is popularly referred to as atte ki button mithai recipe. these are generally made as a sweet snack and served with other savory snacks but can also be served as a sweet dessert after lunch and dinner.
well, if you have noticed my previous paal cake recipe, this recipe of button sweet is very much inspired by it. the combination of wheat flour and milk powder used in this recipe is similar to the maida and milk powder used in paal cake. in both the recipes, it is later dipped in sugar syrup which makes it soft and more importantly gets the sweet taste. while the addition of sugar syrup was my twist, but generally these kinds of sweets snacks are made by adding sugar directly to the dough. adding sugar syrup, makes it attractive, softer as compared to adding sugar to the dough. i like my sweets snacks to be softer but not like gulab jamun extra soft so i added a mild sugar syrup as a topping to this sweet snack.
furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions, and variants to the button sweet recipe. firstly, this sweet recipe is dedicated and prepared with wheat flour, but you can also use maida or plain flour too. you may use the 1:1 ratio for this recipe which should make the sweet softer and lighter. secondly, the shape of the sweet is not significant to the sweet and you may shape it as per your preference. perhaps, you can shape like barfi or even like a kaju using the same bottle cap. you may check my kaju namak pare for the shape. lastly, once the sweet is prepared, you may either keep and soak it in sugar syrup or store it without it. keeping in sugar syrup will keep the sweet softer, whereas, without it, it will be crispier.
