Biscuits | Jeera Biscuits || How to Make Jeera Cookies with step-by-step photos and video.....
Zeera Biscuits are ideal for tea time little sweet and a little
salty, I love to dip them in my chai so yummy. These biscuits are very different from cookies, biscuits are
supposed to be crunchy and crispy while cookies are soft, flaky and chewy
In Pakistan, we people mostly call it a biscuit, not cookies anyhow
these biscuits are great with tea so I made them crispy and baked them for a longer time I baked till the edges were nicely golden brown in colour
If you are not like crispy biscuits, bake them for a less time
I didn’t sprinkle cumin on top, because don’t like
too much cumin in biscuits, but if you are a fan of more cumin biscuits you can
sprinkle at the time of cutting cookies
Though I have tried even before many times to bake this biscuit they never tasted the way I wanted it to but now Alhamdulillah I have achieved the goal of the authentic bakery biscuit taste,
The next goal is a mine of another biscuit that we call here anda biscuit the most popular biscuit of bakeries in Pakistan. Zeera biscuit to make so easy, so try these out and assure you won’t be disappointed
Tips:
- All baking ingredients should be at room temperature
- I used one egg in it if you are vegan or vegetarian can skip and use room temperature milk at the time of kneading dough if needed
- For enhancing the taste of zeera biscuit slightly roast cumin seeds for 30 seconds
- Using melted butter reduces the risk of the curdling egg after adding in creamed butter and sugar
- For baking can be used rough pateela, should be preheated and baked the biscuit for 25-30 minutes
- First, for five minutes bake on medium-high then reduce the heat to low and bake on low-medium heat until edges are browned
