Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Ghee (softened, room temperature)
- 0.5 cup Powdered Sugar (sifted)
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla Essence (pure vanilla essence preferred)
- a few drops Yellow Food Coloring (optional, for authentic yellow hue)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 large Egg (room temperature)
- 1.5 cup All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
Instructions
Cream Ghee and Sugar
In a mixing bowl combine 0.5 cup ghee and 0.5 cup powdered sugar. Whisk until the mixture turns smooth and creamy.
Time: PT5M
Add Flavorings
Stir in 1/4 tsp vanilla essence, a few drops of yellow food coloring, and 1 tsp baking powder. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Time: PT2M
Incorporate Egg
Crack 1 large egg into the bowl and whisk until fully blended with the batter.
Time: PT2M
Form the Dough
Gradually add 1.5 cups sifted all‑purpose flour, about a half‑cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Stop when the dough holds together but is not overly stiff.
Time: PT8M
Shape the Biscuits
Divide the dough into equal portions (≈1 tablespoon). Using a scraper or your hands, roll each portion into a ball, flatten, and cut into square or rectangular shapes with a cookie cutter or knife. Lightly press the edges with a toothpick for a classic super‑biscuit look.
Time: PT8M
Preheat the Pan
Place a metal stand inside a heavy‑bottomed pan. Heat on medium flame for about 3 minutes until the pan is hot.
Time: PT3M
Temperature: Medium flame
Bake the Biscuits
Line the pizza tray with parchment paper and arrange the shaped biscuits in a single layer. Place the tray on the stand inside the pan, cover with the lid, and cook on medium‑to‑low flame for 10‑15 minutes. After 7 minutes, briefly lift the lid to check color; biscuits should turn golden‑yellow and become crisp on the edges but remain tender inside.
Time: PT12M
Temperature: Medium‑to‑low flame
Cool and Serve
Remove the tray, transfer the biscuits to a cooling rack and let them cool completely before storing.
Time: PT5M
