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.y
In Pakistan, we 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 ashorters time
I didn’t sprinkle cumin on top, because I don’t like
too much cumin in biscuits, but if you are a fan of more cumin in biscuits, you can
sprinkle it at the time of cutting cookies
Though I have tried many times before to bake this biscuit, they never tasted the way Iwanted themt 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 try these out and assure you won’t be disappointed.d
Tips:
All baking ingredients should be at room temperature.
I used one egg in the recipe, but if you are vegan or vegetarian, you can skip the egg and use room temperature milk when kneading the dough if needed.
To enhance the flavor of the zeera biscuits, lightly roast the cumin seeds for 30 seconds.
Using melted butter reduces the risk of the egg curdling after it has been added to the creamed butter and sugar.
For baking, a rough pateela can be used. Preheat the oven and bake the biscuits for 25-30 minutes.
First, bake them on medium-high heat for five minutes, then reduce the heat to low and continue baking on low-medium heat until the edges are browned.
