Osmania Biscuits

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

2 cups

Custard powder

1/2 cup

Powdered sugar

3/4 cup

Ghee

1/2 cup, melted

Milk

1/4 cup, or as needed

Baking powder

1 teaspoon

Cardamom powder

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, custard powder, powdered sugar, salt, baking powder, and cardamom powder. Stir well to ensure even distribution of all dry ingredients.
3. Pour the melted ghee into the flour mixture. Using your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4. Gradually add milk, a little at a time, kneading the mixture into a soft, smooth dough. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Use a cookie cutter to cut out round shapes from the dough.
6. Place the cut biscuits on the prepared tray, ensuring they are spaced apart. Optionally, use a fork to create decorative patterns on the surface.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
