Does anyone have recipe for zeera biscuits, the type you get in pakistan? thankyou!
Re: Zeera Biscuits Recipe Please!
yup, here's a recipe , I make them at home and they turn out yummy
Mix 1/4th cup sugar (grinded) with 3/4th cup oil. add one egg and mix well
add 2 cup all purpose flour, 1 and a half tsp zeera seeds , 1 and a quarter tsp salt and 1 tsp baking powder
mix all .. then shape the cookies and preheat oven to 180 degrees .. Shape the cookies and then place in the oven for 15 minutes until biscuits are lightly browned .. they will still be slightly soft to touch when you take them out , leave them on the rack to cool and when you return after five minutes they will have stiffened up ...
Enjoy

CB , is this the type of cookie dough that you shape in balls, and while baking they turn out flat round shapes or the type you roll out and cut with a cokie cutter?

Re: Zeera Biscuits Recipe Please!
KS09, yes these are rolled out and then shaped flat ... the texture is crumbly so you might find it tricky slightly to handle it ..
Re: Zeera Biscuits Recipe Please!
CB i made them - they tasted fantastic! But the texture was very very crumbly - to the point where even after cooled it crumbled in your hand when picking them up.
How can i make them firmier?
they didnt look the samras :(
Re: Zeera Biscuits Recipe Please!

Re: Zeera Biscuits Recipe Please!
Inspiron, did you bake them enough? next time bake them a bit more like maybe give an extra 4-5 minutes ... Usually they are extremely crumbly when either the cookies havnt firmed up in the oven or you added a bit too much oil ..
I suggest you change your measurement cup ... try with a smaller one ...
Re: Zeera Biscuits Recipe Please!

Re: Zeera Biscuits Recipe Please!
