Maida biscuits - Mom's recipe

These were the biscuits Amma used to make when we were kids - and I totally loved them! They were so delicious - soft and yielding - they just melted in your mouth. Now that I have kids of my own, I felt they deserved some home made biscuits as well :)

Once I baked them, I realized this is one of the simplest baking recipes so far! It is sooooo simple! Can be made anytime, and its vegetarian :)

Ingredients:

Maida - 1 cup

Sugar, powdered - 1/2 cup

Dalda - 1/2 cup

Baking soda - 1/4 tsp

• Mix the dalda (not melted, just soft at room temperature) and sugar well.
• Add in the maida and baking powder and knead into a soft dough.
• Roll out medim sized balls and flatten them a bit by pressing in between your palms.
• Place on a baking tray. I used my mom's method and used the idli moulds to place the biscuits.
• 
Bake at 170 degrees centigrade for 10-12 mins.
• Cool for 5 mins before biting in!!

These measurements make around 16 biscuits.
