this is my first biscuit recipe or atta biscuit recipe and hence i wanted to share a healthy one. i have already shared the butter cookie or naankhatai which is made entirely with maida or plain flour. while some may argue that cookie is just another synonym to biscuit but i disagree to it. cookie’s are typically sweet snacks where as biscuit can be both sweet and savoury. moreover, biscuit are generally crisp compared to cookies which are chewy in nature. further, the cookie are usually round in shape and biscuits can be in round, square and even rectangle in shape.
furthermore, some important tips and suggestions for a perfect atta biscuit recipe. firstly i have used wholemeal wheat flour for this wheat biscuit recipe. alternatively, you can also use plain flour or maida and follow the same procedure. secondly, always use the butter at room temperature and do not add the heated melted butter. also with respect to milk, add room temperature full cream milk while preparing the dough. lastly, once the biscuits are baked, allow it cool for 10-15 minutes and then remove from the backing rack.
finally i would like to share my other eggless baking recipes collection from my blog. this includes, eggless chocolate cake, plum cake, sponge cake, banana bread, cupcakes, rava cake, black forest cake and mug cake recipe. also, do visit my other recipes collection like,
