🍪 The Nostalgia of a Butter Biscuit

Before fancy cookies came into our lives, there was the humble butter biscuit.
Golden edges, melt-in-mouth softness, and that comforting aroma of ghee and sugar — the taste that instantly transports you back to your childhood.

Whether it was your grandmother’s tin box or the bakery down the lane, these biscuits were the real soul snacks of Indian evenings.

🍴 Preparation Steps

1. Cream the Butter & Sugar
   In a large bowl, whisk butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This step makes your biscuits soft and airy.

2. Mix in the Flavors
   Add vanilla essence (and a pinch of cardamom if you love the Indian twist).

3. Sift & Combine
   Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold it into the butter mixture.

4. Form the Dough
   Mix gently — add milk little by little till the dough comes together. It should be soft, not sticky.

5. Shape & Bake
   Roll out the dough and cut into your favorite shapes. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 15–18 minutes, until the edges turn golden.

6. Cool & Relish
   Let them cool on a wire rack — they’ll crisp up beautifully.
