These super biscuits are delicious and pair perfectly with a cup of chai (tea). The recipe is simple, quick, and results in crispy, buttery biscuits that complement your tea perfectly. Here’s how you can make them:
Ingredients:
For the Biscuits:
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup
- Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Sugar: 1/2 cup
- Butter (melted): 1/4 cup
- Milk: 1/4 cup (or as needed)
- Vanilla essence: 1/2 teaspoon
For the Chai (Tea):
- Tea leaves: 1-2 teaspoons (adjust according to taste)
- Water: 1 cup
- Milk: 1/2 cup
- Sugar: to taste (1-2 teaspoons or as preferred)
Instructions:
1. Preparing the Biscuits:
- Sift the dry ingredients: In a bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to combine them evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar together until the sugar dissolves into the butter.
- Add milk and vanilla: Stir in the milk and vanilla essence into the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well.
- Combine the dry ingredients: Gradually add the sifted flour mixture into the wet ingredients and stir until it forms a soft dough. If the dough seems too dry, add a little more milk until the dough is smooth and soft.
- Shape the biscuits: Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or simply cut the dough into squares or rounds with a knife.
- Bake the biscuits: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the biscuits on a baking tray and bake them for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Cool the biscuits: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on a rack.
2. Preparing the Chai (Tea):
- Boil the water and tea leaves: In a small saucepan, add 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the tea leaves.
- Simmer the tea: Let the tea simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the tea to infuse and release its flavor.
- Add milk and sugar: Add 1/2 cup of milk and sugar to taste. Stir well and let the tea come to a gentle boil for another 2-3 minutes.
- Strain the tea: Once the tea is ready, strain it into a cup.
3. Enjoy the Biscuits and Chai:
Your Super Biscuits and Chai are ready! Serve the warm biscuits alongside your freshly brewed chai. The combination of the crispy, buttery biscuits with the rich, aromatic chai is perfect for a cozy tea time.
