Atta Biscuits are popular tea time cookies in India, made with very few ingredients and require no mixer. There are no eggs and no baking soda used. It is very easy and simple to prepare at home with the traditional flavour of Ghee. It can be served as an evening snack with tea/ chai or hot milk. Here is the recipe of these super delicious, eggless and crispy Atta Biscuits with step by step instructions and pictures.
1. Firstly, take 1/2 cup clarified butter/ ghee in a large mixing bowl.
2. Then add 1 cup granulated sugar to it. I have used light brown sugar, you can use granulated white sugar or brown sugar or jaggery.
3. Beat the sugar and ghee well with the help of hand mixer or whisk.
4. Until it becomes fluffy, light and creamy mixture.
5. Then add 2 cups of whole wheat flour/ gehun ka atta to it. Mix and crumble the ingredients well with hand.
6. Now add 1tsp baking powder. Mix it also well. You can even add baking powder with Atta and then mix together.
7. Next add 1/3 cup milk gradually and start to combine well.
8. Just combine to form a dough, there is no need to knead it.
9. Grease the Sev maker and single lined mould as shown in the picture.
10. Take one big ball sized soft dough and make a log.
11. Then place the log in the sev maker to fill it.
12. Now roll the sev machine and take the biscuit shaped spread on your hand. You can make small or big sized biscuits. I have made medium-sized. Please refer picture for more clarity.
13. If you don't want to use Sev machine. Then take lemon sized small ball. Roll it and flattened it with your fingers, even you can make Good day cookies like design with fork as shown in the attached photo. Alternatively, flatten the dough with rolling pin and cut the cookies with cookie cutter.
14. Place the cut dough on to a tray lined with baking paper.
15. Bake the biscuits in preheated oven at 150°C or 300°F for 12 minutes or till the edges turn slightly golden. If you are making hand rolled cookies then it will take little longer time around 15-18 minutes. I have placed two cookie trays at a time and baked in two times, that's why I have mentioned 25 minutes cooking time.
16. Allow the biscuit to cool completely. Biscuits will be soft when hot, and turns crunchy and crispy when cooled.
17. Punjabi Atta Biscuits are ready to serve with Chai or store in airtight container for at least 3 weeks.
