Butter biscuits are very nostalgic to me, drives me back to childhood... in bangalore you would go to any bakery mostly iyengar bakery and ask them for benne biscuit (butter biscuit) they would have two varieties sweet and salt, I would always prefer the sweet one....
and since baking bug bit me, I've always been wanting to try something like that..
Shortbread cookies have the same taste, but I have altered the proportions to give it more buttery taste and crumbly texture.
Its just 3 ingredients off your pantry shelf and your done.
You can make the dough ahead put it in the freezer thaw it, cut and bake it.
whats more.. let me now leave you with the recipe.
