My cousin in US asked me to post this recipe . So this is specially for her.

 My kids liked this homemade biscuits very much.   

Ingredients (Makes 40-45)

3 cups All Purpose Flour / Maida

1/2 cup Vegetable Oil

1 1/2 - 1 3/4 teaspoon Salt

3/4 cup Milk

1 tablespoon Butter / Ghee

1. In a bowl, mix maida, oil and salt. It looks like bread crumbs. Pour 1/4 cup of milk at a time and mix it well. knead it for 6-8 mins.

2. Add butter, mix it, knead it again for 2 mins and keep it aside for 10 mins. Pre heat oven. Divide dough in 4 equal parts.  Dust the surface and dough with maida. Roll each part of the dough to thin layer. Use a cookie cutter to cut biscuits to a desired shape. 

3. Grease a oven tray and place these biscuits on tray. Biscuits puff up while baking. So you need to prick them with a fork. Bake the biscuits for about 12- 15 mins or till the edges of the biscuits turn golden brown. Remove the tray from oven, allow it to cool. 

4. Store in airtight container.  Have it with Tea / Chai.
