Popularly known with the name ATTA BISCUITS, these have childhood memories attached to us when they used to be our prime snack with a cup of milk.

That time was not much exposed to variety of snacks and these biscuits made of whole wheat flour and jaggery had a special place in the pantry. They used to be kept separately in airtight boxes preserved to be served to guests.

More than the taste, their design was more fascinating to me as a kid and it was always wondering how to create like this?

Recently when we decided to make them and knowingly that it is not necessary to give them a particular shape & can be made simple round or squares, we didn’t make them. Reason being I wanted to recreate the same memories of childhood and that could be possible with sev press.

Easily available in the market or even online, I first ordered the sev press, also named as kitchen press and made these biscuits in that very shape in which I always wanted to make.

But if you don’t have sev press and also aren’t fussy to recreate the similar shape, then make them round or square just by flattening the dough ball between your palm or using cookie cutter.

Step wise pictorial recipe of Eggless atta biscuits with jaggery

1. Add butter and jaggery in a bowl. Grate jaggery before adding or it should be so soft to get mixed immediately. Alternatively can use jaggery powder.
2. Whisk them with electric beater till the butter turns creamy. You can use wire whisk too but that is time taking process.
3. Put a sieve on bowl and add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Remember, if your butter is salted, then skip extra salt here.
4. Sift the ingredients into the bowl.
5. Using a spatula mix everything well.
6. When everything is incorporated, bring all of them together with your hands and start making a dough without kneading.
7. Add milk to make the dough. The quantity of milk depends on the fact whether your dough is forming or not. We needed to add just 2 tablespoons of milk.
8. The dough should be of soft consistency.
9. Take a kitchen/sev press and grease it’s piston cylinder with oil and fix the disc with a design shown in the picture below at the first place.
10. Take dough as much as can be added to cylinder and roll it into a log.
11. Put the log into the cylinder and close it.
12. Press the piston and dispense dough to making cookies on the greased baking tray lined with greased butter paper.
13. If you don’t have sev press, make roundel of the mixture and then flatten it with the pressure of your second hand giving a round biscuit kind of shape, as shown in last picture of the collage below.
14. Place the baking tray in refrigerator (not in freezer) for 30 minutes.
15. When you are 10 minutes away from baking, switch on the oven @150℃ for 10 minutes for preheating.
16. Put the tray in middle rack of oven with both the rods on @150℃ for 25 to 30 minutes or till the biscuits are baked properly.
17. Once done, bring the cookies out and let them turn completely cool.

Eggless atta gud biscuits are ready. Enjoy.

NOTE

Instead of jaggery,  you can add regular sugar also after powdering it but in that case, it will be atta biscuit not atta gud biscuit.
