Chai biscuits are a delightful treat that bring the warm and spicy flavors of chai tea into a crispy, buttery biscuit. Perfect for pairing with a hot cup of tea or coffee, these biscuits are a wonderful addition to your baking repertoire. With a blend of all-purpose flour, white rice flour, and corn flour, they have a unique texture that is both crumbly and tender.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and 1 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should be done using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-5 minutes.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose white wheat flour, white rice flour, and corn flour. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of the flours.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Add 2 tablespoons of milk to the dough and continue to mix until the dough comes together and is smooth.
- Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a ball using your hands. Shape the dough balls into discs or your desired biscuit shape.
6. Prepare Sugar Coating:
- Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar into a shallow dish or bowl.
- Roll each biscuit disc in the brown sugar to coat thoroughly. This will give the biscuits a delightful, sweet crust.
- Place the sugar-coated biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each biscuit to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden and the biscuits are set.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before starting to make it easier to cream with the sugar.
- For a more intense chai flavor, you can add a pinch of ground cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves to the dough.
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before rolling it out to prevent the biscuits from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use parchment paper on your baking sheets to prevent the biscuits from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Store the biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
By following this recipe and incorporating these handy tips, you'll create chai biscuits that are sure to impress. Whether you're serving them at a tea party or enjoying them as a cozy, homemade snack, these biscuits capture the essence of chai in every bite. Happy baking!
