Gnanakatha: Sri Lankan Milk Biscuits Recipe – By Malsha – eLanka
Ingredients:
- 120g all-purpose flour
- 75g powdered sugar
- 50g melted butter
- 50g milk powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, powdered sugar, and milk powder. Beat until smooth, then add the vanilla extract.
- Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together, then gradually add to the butter mixture to form a soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour as needed.
- Divide the dough into small portions. Shape each piece into a small ball, then gently flatten, keeping the center slightly thicker.
- Place the shaped biscuits onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Lightly sprinkle water on top and dust with sugar.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden.
Enjoy your homemade Gnanakatha!
