Shrewsbury biscuits (cookies)

Yes! The buttery, crisp yellow cookies.. And this recipe yields perfect results. If you hail from Pune, you know what exactly I am talking about. 

The recipe is egg-less and soooo easy, great to do with kids.

I did these this weekend with my cousin! And look how much she enjoyed it :) we made one huge batch after another until we had almost 200ish small cookies!! She took them to her school! (The recipe below yields 50-60 small cookies or 25-30 large (actual shrewsbury size) cookies)

If you don't have Custard powder replace that by corn flour and vanilla extract.. The result won't be the same but not bad. Will still turn out like tasty shortbread cookies.

Perfect Christmas gift, this time well in advance :)

100g Amul butter (or 1 stick salted yellow butter)

1/2 cup sugar

1.5 cups all purpose flour

1 tbsp vanilla flavored custard powder

Milk

1/4 tsp soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

Preheat oven at 300 F.

Mix flour, soda, baking powder and custard powder.

Beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy.

Mix the dry mixture little at a time 

Knead into a dough.

Add milk as needed (I added a couple of tablespoons)

Roll manageable portions onto a clean surface and cut cookies
