Ingredients
1 cup = 200ml
- 1/4 cup Almonds
- 1/2 cup cane sugar or regular sugar or jaggery powder
- 1/4 cup butter unsalted/half stick
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup oats
- 2 tbsp almonds roughly chopped
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp almond essence or vanilla essence or cardamom powder
- 1 tsp milk more/less
- 1 tbsp crushed almonds for garnish
- Oil for greasing butter paper on baking tray
Instructions
- Put sugar along with 1/4 cup of almonds in a grinder jar and grind them to a powder.
- Add butter and grinded mixture into a bowl.
- Whisk them with electric beater. However you can use wire whisk also.
- In 2 to 3 minutes (with electric beater), butter will turn creamy.
- Now add wheat flour, oats, chopped almonds, salt, baking soda and almond essence.
- Whisk them again so that everything get mixes together well.
- Now by using your hand, start bringing everything together so that a dough can be formed. Remember, only bring the mixture together and don't knead it.
- If the mixture is not binding together, add very little of milk. We only need to add a tsp of milk for making a dough.
- Once dough gets ready, cover it with a moist kitchen towel, put lid on the bowl and place bowl in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can cling wrap the dough and then refrigerate.
- After the said period, take the dough out and make small lemon size pieces of the dough. We could made 19 pieces.
- Now roll each piece into a ball by rolling them between your palms one by one.
- Arrange all balls on a baking tray lined with greased butter paper or parchment paper. See, keep distance in each ball as they will spread a little on baking.
- Take 2 pinches of crushed almonds and press gently on the top of ball. Repeat the same for all balls. Note that don't press with pressure otherwise balls may break.
- Bake @160°C in a preheated oven in the middle rack with both the rods on for 20 minutes.
- Once done, take the tray out and let biscuits cool down completely.
- Almond biscuits are ready.
- Enjoy.
Notes
- Don't grind almonds in one go but blitz by doing stop go stop method, otherwise almonds will begin to release oil instead of turning only powder.
- If using salted butter, then skip adding additional salt.
- If you don't have almond essence, you can add vanilla essence or cardamom powder.
