    Ghee Biscuits | Nei biscuits | Eggless Ghee Cookies

    Ghee biscuits are very commonly seen in roadside tea shops. If you happen to travel in the suburban trains in Chennai you would have never missed these biscuits.

    During my college days, I had this experience of traveling on a train and I have tasted these biscuits frequently, but I never thought of replicating the same in-home, I am so glad and delighted that I could try the same in-home and it tasted similar.

    So happy with this experiment and I would say healthy experiment, Yes I used whole wheat flour. I wanted to use cane sugar to make it even more healthy but I don’t want to lose the white color which is the signature of the ghee biscuits hence used white sugar. Next time I would try with Cane Sugar.

    The cookie has got a soft and melt in mouth texture and it stays good for up to 2 weeks. The cookie is approved tasty by my hubby and daughter so I am sure everyone would love it .Give a try, dear friends.

    How to prepare Ghee biscuits, Pictorial

        1.      Sieve together whole wheat flour, Powdered sugar, and salt and then in a mixing bowl add in the ghee and sifted wheat flour, Vanilla essence, and salt, Along with them add in the vanilla essence.

    2.      Mix everything together and form a soft dough. Now with the help of 1 tbsp scoop the dough and place it in the baking tray lined with parchment paper. Continue the same process for the remaining dough. No need to flatten the dough. Instead with the hands also we can form a ball of the dough however using the measuring spoons gives us equal-sized biscuits.

    3.      Preheat the oven at 180 Deg C for about 10 mins and then bake at 180 Deg C for about 15-17 mins or until the base of the cookies starts to brown. Allow it to cool completely and store in airtight containers.

      I’ve tried them and they come out perfectly.
      Seen tons of recipies using buttermilk, baking soda etc, but they aren’t required everytime and this recipe proves it.
