Cake House

T hese biscuits are popular snacks which can be found in almost all the bakeries in Kerala. As a small kid, I used to eat these often whenever we go to Kerala for vacations. While coming back to Andhra, my mom used to bring big packets of these and always a big jar in my house is filled with these cute little bakes. These biscuits never lasted in my house for too long. These are devoured in no time. These are mostly available in the shape of coins. That is why they are also called coin biscuits. These are also known as bean biscuits as some of them are in the shape of a bean. The process of making the batter, piping them evenly in the same shape and baking them perfectly is an art. These melt in mouth delicacies are simple and an easy to make snack which will be loved by all and can munch at any time. Hope you all will try this out and please let me know. Ingredients: All Purpose Flour- 3/4 Cup Sugar- 1/2 Cup Eggs- 2 Cups Vanilla Essence- 1 tbsp Butter- 1 tbsp Baking Powder- 1/2 tsp Ye

Bring water to the boil to cook the sugar snaps for 1 min., then add 75 grs of  samphire and cook for another 3,5 mins. Pour trough a sieve and douse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
