Nei Biscuit (Ghee Biscuit)

Nei Biscuit is fav among most of the kids, i always use to wonder what would be the recipe for this biscuit, according to me it was a very tough job. Only after searching the recipe for this biscuit i realized that it is such an easy recipe. We call it as Joosebery (Not sure about the pronunciation :p). Nei is nothing but Clarified Butter.
When i was too young i can still remember my appa did this biscuit for us, that was the best taste i've ever tasted:):)



Ingredients
1 1/2  cup Plain Flour
1/4 cup Ghee
1/2 cup Icing sugar
1/4 teaspoon Baking powder
A pinch of Salt

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (approx 162 degrees C)
  • Mix the ghee and sugar, beat well till you get the creamy texture.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, mix well and knead into a soft dough. The dough should be very soft, even if it is sticky no prob, if you feel the sweetness is less, add some sugar. (This is definitely no prob).
  • Place a baking sheet in a tray and take the desired size balls and slightly flatten it and place it in the tray.
  • There should be space between each biscuits.
  • Bake it for 9-12 mins, not more than that. If you feel the biscuits is not done, bake for another 3-5 mins.
  • The Biscuits shouldn't turn brown. The right way to know is, your biscuits starts leaving from your sheet.
  • When the Biscuits are hot, it looks like very soft and smooth, no worries, after cooling you will get the exact texture.


Note

  • Do not melt the ghee
  • If you do not have Icing sugar, you can use normal sugar but powder it.
