Receta Nan Khatai | Butter Biscuits - Edible Gifts
Ingredients
- 1 Cup + 1/4 Tbsp Butter
- 1/2 Cup Confectioners sugar
- 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Cardamom powder
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 5-6 no's Almonds, broken roughly into pieces
Instructions
Bring butter to room temperature. It should be softened but should not start melting. Cream butter and sugar. Keep it aside.
Sieve all purpose flour, cardamom powder, baking powder and salt.
In batches, 3 to 4, fold in the flour mixture with the creamed butter and sugar. Once it gathers together knead it into a huge ball. Knead it very gently.
Set this for about 20 minutes by covering it in a plastic wrap or in an air tight bowl.
Then divide it into two big portions. Make small balls (1/4" dia) , approximately 17-18 can be made with this amount.
Place them in a parchment lined baking sheet, with enough space in between them. In each ball, insert 1 or 2 pieces almonds based on how big it is.
Bake them at 300F for about 23 minutes. Remove them and keep it aside for 5 minutes. If you touch them as soon as it comes out of the oven, it will be very soft and it might break.
After 5 minutes, transfer them to a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely. Then transfer it to a air tight container.
