Jalebi Shortbread Biscuits

In celebration of #nationalcookieday &#nationalbiscuitday I’ve put together a special recipe – 

Jalebi Shortbread Biscuits

Jalebi is a deep fried flour pretzel which is soaked in sugar syrup. It’s popular over South and Western Asia. 

I’ve used pieces of jalebi in this recipe so it tastes like you’re eating the real thing but in a shortbread biscuit!

Ingredients
128g plain flour
70g of chopped jalebi – these can be found in any Indian sweetmart.
64g butter – needs to be soft but not runny
55g caster sugar – or icing sugar

My recipes makes 12 medium biscuits and baked in 12 minutes.
