Biscuits

This is what i have been upto in the weekend :-)

You will need:
Maida 2 and 1/5 cups

Butter 3/4 cup (melted)

Sugar 1 cup (finely powdered)

Eggs - 2

Essence - 1 tsp (vanilla, rose flavour or any of your coice)

Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Process:

1. Beat the eggs, sugar and melted butter together to get a fine paste. It should not have any lumps. Can even be mixed using a mixer. Add the essence to this.

2. After the loose paste type mixture is very smooth, add in teh baking powder and slowly mix in the maida a bit at a time . Even this can be mixed the same way the butter and sugar was done. Pat and knead the whole mixture into a very soft and smooth dough.

3. After it is done, refrigerate it for abt 3 hours. Later When we take it out, the dough will be more stiff.

4. Preheat your microwave in convection to 175 deg cent.

5. In the meantime, roll out the dough and cut out into shapes which you would like to have your biscuts. I just did it simply with a knife to get square biscuits.

6. After the pre-heating is done, put the cut out biscut dough pieces on a baking tray which is buttered or on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 mins.

7. Let it cool. It will harden more after it cools down. The biscuits are done.

8. Chocolate biscuits can be done in the same way if about 2 heaped spoons of cocoa powder are mixed into the mixture in step 1.
