Assemble all ingredients together to avoid last minute rush.

Measure all ingredients as per the list above.

Take ½ cup salted butter (at room temperature) and ¼ cup sugar, fine powdered in a Mixing Bowl.

Mix together both the ingredients with the help of a hand mixture or whisk, so that sugar would incorporate with the butter very well.

Then, add 1 ½ Cup whole wheat flour, ½ tsp salt, 3 tsp carom seeds/ajwain, ¼ tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cardamom powder, 1 tsp fennel seeds powder in the Bowl.

With your fingers, mix everything well. Do not impatient and speed yup this step. Make sure all the ingredients are well incorporated with each other.

You would get crumble texture after mixing. Press some mixture and it should bind together, which means your mixture is perfect for next step.

Now, add 2 tbsp milk and gather everything together. Do not knead, just gather the mixture together.

Then, roll to cylindrical shape and cover tightly with a cling sheet.

Refrigerate for 1 hour so that it can set properly and can easily cut into shapes.

After 1 hour, remove the cling sheet and cut into 1 ½ inch pieces. Do not cut too thick otherwise they wont bake properly and take long time for baking.

Place in the baking tray and bake at 180°c for 12-15 minutes. The time may vary depending on the brand of Oven and the thickness of biscuits.

Let the biscuits remain in oven for 5-6 minutes after the baking time stops. Then, transfer to wired rack and cool down completely. Biscuits would turn crisp after they cooled down.
