ATTA BISCUIT

Atta Biscuit Recipe is a wholesome and nutritious biscuit that is made from Project Fresh Shudh Chakki Atta and flavored with cardamom and butter. Whole wheat flour makes these biscuits easy to digest and kids friendly as well.

Preparation Time: 60 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups Project Fresh Shudh Chakki Atta

1/4 cup Wheat Bran

1/2 cup Caster Sugar

10 Cardamom (Elaichi) Pods/Seeds , peeled and powdered

100 grams Butter (unsalted) , chilled and cubed

1 pinch Salt

1/4 cup Milk

8 Cashew nuts , halved lengthwise

Steps:

1. To make Atta Biscuit Recipe, we will first preheat the oven to 170 C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or grease with little butter.
2. Sift together Project Fresh Shudh Chakki Atta, Wheat bran, sugar and cardamom pods powder in a large mixing bowl. Now add the cubed and chilled butter into the dry ingredients, mix using your fingers or a pastry cutter, until the cookie dough forms a crumbly sandy mixture.
3. Next add one tablespoon of milk at a time to make a soft and firm cookie dough. When you notice the flour has come together and is well combined, then you can stop kneading the dough.
4. To shape the cookies, divide the dough into equal size small portions and roll into balls.
5. Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4″ thick. Arrange the biscuits on the lined baking sheets at some distance apart. Press half a cashew into the centre of each biscuit. 
6. Bake biscuits for approx. 20-22 minutes each or until done and golden around the edges. Rotate each sheet halfway through for even baking.
7. Once baked, transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool down before storing.
8. Serve Atta Biscuit with a cup of masala chai for the evening snacks or store in an airtight box at room temperature.
