- Total: Approximately 80 minutes
- Preparation: 50 minutes
- Cooking: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Ragi Flour (Finger Millet/ Nagli)
- 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1/2 cup Butter - cold
- 1/2 cup Sugar - powdered
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Milk - to knead the dough
Instructions
- To begin making the Eggless Ragi & Whole Wheat Crisp Biscuits recipe, firstly roast the ragi flour in a cast iron pan on a medium low flame
- Keep tossing for a few minutes until the aroma of roasted flour fills the air
- In a mixing bowl, add sifted whole wheat flour and the roasted ragi flour
- Also add sifted baking powder to the flour and give it a gentle mix
- Refrigerate butter for 20 minutes and cut it into cubes
- Add these butter cubes to the flour mix
- Mix the flour with the butter with your finger tips till you get a coarse mixture
- Add powdered sugar and mix
- Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time and bring the mixture together like a dough
- If you add too much liquid or too less liquid it will not hold the shape and will crumble
- Cover it with a cling wrap and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes
- Roll the dough on a flat counter using a roller pin
- You may dust a little with wheat flour to prevent it from sticking
- The rolled dough should not be very thin nor very thick, just right
- Cut it into desired shapes
- I am using a circular biscuit cutter, you can use cookie cutters or even lids
- Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet
- You can use a sharp knife or spatula to lift it up
- You can line the baking sheet with parchment paper
- I am using a silicon mat to prevent sticking to the bottom
- You can make striped design with a fork and bake it in a preheated oven on 180 degree C for 15 to 18 minutes in the middle rack until they acquire a slight brown colour
- The biscuits will still me soft as you remove them from the oven
- Let the cool down on a wire rack until they become crisp and delicious!Serve Eggless Ragi & Whole Wheat Crisp Biscuits with a cup of Masala Chai and Paneer Tikka Wraps for a tea break with your friends and family
