Nankhatai

Straight out from oven. Freshly baked nankhatai. Delicious and melt in mouth.

After taste it you never satisfy with store bought. These home made are much better than store bought. These nankhatai or shortbread cookies are altime favourite amongst my family and friends. I have adopted the recipe from Zee Bangla rannaghar. Loved it too much so sharing it here 😊

Recipe
APF flour or maida -1 cup
Gram flour/chickpea flour or besan – 1/2 cup
Powdered sugar – 1 cup
Clarified butter or ghee – 1 cup melted
Baking powder – 1/2 tsp
Baking soda – 1/4 tsp
Cardamom powder – 1/2 tsp
Chopped cashew nut

Method
Cream together sugar and ghee. Add flour along with baking powder, soda and cardamom powder.

Knead to a smooth dough. Make small balls and fill with cashew pieces.

Arrange in the greased tray. Bake at 180° in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Allow the nankhatai to cool before eating.

Enjoy the mouth melting and yummy nankhatai with your tea or coffee.
