Cornflakes Biscuits

Cornflakes Biscuits

I'm at it again, going through my cupboards to check on all the unfinished stock. And there was a small packet of cornflakes unopened. I googled a few recipes online and mixed and matched a couple to come up with this quick and easy biscuit recipe. It's really nice and crunchy especially when freshly baked and straight out of the oven. Makes for a great snack with a cup of tea or coffee. You can even have this for a quick breakfast on the go. The only slightly sinful bit here is the butter but it's comparatively still less compared to the normal. So go on and bake some today.

Ingredients

Cornflakes (non-sweetened variety) – ¾ cup

Whole wheat flour – 1 cup

Oats – ¼ cup

Jaggery powder – ½ to ¾ cup (depending on sweet requirement)

Butter (frozen) – 2 tbsp

Baking powder – ½ tsp

Baking soda – ½ tsp

Milk – 2 tbsp (or more to bind)

Butterscotch chips – ¼ cup

Method

Crush the cornflakes into smaller pieces and keep aside

Beat 1 tbsp butter well

Add jaggery powder and blend well

Add the remaining butter to oats and mix to form a crumbly mixture

Add this to the jaggery mixture and mix well

Mix baking powder, soda and wheat flour and add to the above mixture

Add milk and form stiff dough

Divide the dough into equal pieces (about 8) and flatten

Coat both sides of the biscuits with the crushed cornflakes

Bake in an oven preheated to 160 degrees C for about 15 to 20 minutes

Enjoy
