Ingredients

• Maida/All purpose flour – 1 cup
• Powdered sugar – 1/2 cup
• Butter – 1/2 cup
• Rice flour – 2 tbsp
• Baking powder – 1/4 tsp
• Salt – 1/4 tsp
• Cardamom powder – a pinch

Method

•  Melt the butter and allow it to cool. Sieve the maida, baking powder, rice flour, salt and cardamom powder together to be evenly distributed
•  Pour this mixture into a bowl and mix well the powdered sugar
•  Add the melted butter little by little to make a dough. It will be a little crumpled. Do not add more butter, milk or water to make a soft dough.
• Leave the dough for about 15 – 20 mins covered in a cloth, kept in a closed vessel. This will make it easier to make a small ball and flatten it a bit .
• You can give the biscuits any shape you like. Arrange them on a biscuit tray
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius. Bake in the middle rack for about 15 – 20 minutes.
• Broil it for a minute. It gives a nice texture on the top. Remove it from oven and store it in air tight containers once it cools.
