SWEET BISCUIT | MAIDA BUSCUIT | DIWALI RECIPE

Sweet Biscuit is one of the recipes done during  festivals like Diwali, Holi etc. The main ingredients are Maida, Butter and Sugar. Butter gives crispness and nice aroma to the dish. A pinch of baking soda can also be added to give a flaky texture. The dough should be thick like poori dough, since sugar added in the dough tends to make it soft after a while. 




If the dough turns too soft, add little maida and knead again. It should be deep fried in low flame to get crispness, and also the inner portion to get cooked well. It will take atleast 6 to 7 minutes to deep fry one batch of biscuits. It will be soft at first, but will turn crispy after it cools down. It is popular all over India, but called by different names. The Spicy version of this recipe can be done by replacing sugar with spice.
