Recipe Tips

This is an easy Ragi biscuits recipe for a baby as baking them does not need your dedicated time and you just have to mix the ingredients well.

• Make sure butter has come down to room temperature when you mix it in the flour.
• The biscuits should not be too thick and be similar in thickness else some might remain uncooked from inside.
• Avoid using aluminium foil for lining trays as the aluminium might leech into the food, which is not good for health.
• Do check your cookies from time to time else they might burn before the stipulated time.
• A fork inserted in the cookie should come out clean, that’s how you know cookies are done.
