I am really not sure of the origin of these really rich fatty biscuits.. or can they be called biscuits??
I have relished them at bakery shops but since i started making them myself they taste even better..( even at the risk of your waistline..) they are very easy to make and very quickly as well..
The ingredients are simple and we have them at home all the time..
you need
2 cups flour ( i go half maida half whole wheat flour)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup ghee ( unsalted butter if u want)
a pinch of soda bi carb ( baking soda)
a handful of cashew nuts powdered

Mix sugar and ghee in a bowl and whisk well using blender.
Mix flour , powdered cashews and baking soda well.
Add flour to wet ghee mix.

Make a soft dough. it doesnot need any water or milk and would form a crumbly dough.

Preheat oven to 180 deg centigrade and grease a baking tray.

Make small pedas out of the dough and gently press then.. do not flatten ..

Make a cross using a knife lightly.
Bake for about 15-20 min. they will look soft but will get little firm on cooling.
Enjoy..:)
