Ingredients

1 ½ cup (180-190 g) atta / whole wheat flour

½ cup + 1 ½ tbsp salted butter (130 g)

½ cup +1 tbsp granulated sugar (120 g), powdered finely

OR ½ cup +1 tbsp fine castor sugar (120 g)

OR 1 tbsp less than 1 cup powdered/icing sugar (120 g)

2 tbsp milk + more if necessary

Will make 34 small or 22 medium-size atta biscuits.

Procedure

1. Sift the atta.
2. In a bowl, whisk the butter and sugar for 3-4 minutes till light and creamy. (Please note the difference in volume of sugar before powdering and of powdered sugar.)
3. Stir in the ground cardamom.
4. Mix in half of the atta and then mix in the rest.
5. Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time till the dough just comes together. You may or may not need more than 2 tbsp.
6. Next, gather the dough into a ball. Shape it into a cylindrical log, if you want the biscuits/cookies to be round-shaped or a rectangular log, if you want square-shaped ones.
7. Wrap the log of dough in parchment paper or cling film and keep it in the freezer for 30 minutes.
8. Unwrap it, and cut it into ¼” thick slices.
9. Transfer these to a parchment paper-lined baking tray and bake the biscuits at 160 C (325 F) for around 22 to 25 minutes.
10.  Allow the homemade atta biscuits to cool on a wire rack and then store them in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
