Ingredients
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour (Maida)
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 30 grams Salted butter - chilled and diced fine
- 40 grams Cheese - grated
- 2 tablespoons Coriander (Dhania) Leaves - finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Curd (Dahi / Yogurt)
- 4 Whole Eggs - boiled
Instructions
- To begin making the Egg In A Biscuit, first set your oven to preheat at 250 C
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to be used later
- Mix all the dry ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda in a bowl
- Then, put the chilled and cubed butter into the flour and work quickly with your finger to rub the butter into the dry mix till it resembles coarse crumbles
- Grate the cheese and add the chopped coriander leaves to the mix and combine together
- Mix in the yogurt and stir till the biscuit batter just comes together
- Take care not over mix
- The mix should just barely hold together and not be runny at all
- Over mixing makes the biscuit tough
- Now prepare the biscuits by dropping 4 spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking tray
- Place an egg on top of each spoonful of batter
- Then, encase the egg by spooning more batter over it so it is covered on all sides
- Place the biscuits batter along with the egg in the preheated oven to bake at 250 C for 5 mins, then reduce temp to 200 degrees C and bake for another 10-15 mins or till the crust of the biscuit is golden brown
- Serve Egg In A Biscuit along with Banana Almond & Prunes Smoothie for a filling breakfast or as a snack box recipe
