Biscuits are a snack that everybody loves to munch on. With a huge variety to choose from biscuits can give endless possibilities to try. Biscuits with a particular flavor are my favorite ones. The Jeera biscuits recipe that I am sharing today is an easy and simple recipe with a particular distinct flavor of Jeera or Cumin seeds.
Cumin seeds aid in digestion and are rich in antioxidants, calcium, iron and magnesium. Since they are used in very less quantities hardly about a teaspoon in a dish this form of biscuits is a nice and interesting way to incorporate the seeds in our diet.
Ingredients:
- Butter - 100 gms
- Powdered sugar - 2 tbsp
- All purpose flour - 1 1/2 cups
- Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
- Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
- Milk - 2 tbsp
- Salt - 1 tsp
- Cumin seeds - 2 tbsp
Method:
- In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cumin seeds.
- Add milk and form a dough using your hand.
- Leave aside the dough for 10 mins.
- Take half portion of the dough and roll it out using a rolling pin. While rolling you can sprinkle some more cumin seeds if you wish to.
- Cut the biscuits into desired shape using a cookie cutter.
- Repeat the process for the remaining dough.
- Grease a baking tray and arrange the biscuits.
- Bake them at 160°C in a pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. (I turned my biscuits over after 10 minutes) Keep an eye on biscuits while baking 'coz every oven is different.
- Serve warm.
The biscuits turned out to be crisp with a lovely texture and a distinct flavor of cumin seeds. Since Christmas is just around the corner I also cut a biscuit in the Christmas tree shape while for the rest I preferred small hearts.
