Kesar Shortbread!

I have some baking skills too. This I discovered recently when I cooked some perfect short breads. Now let me tell you what you need to bake them are really simple ingredients from your pantry. 1. 3/4 Cup of All purpose flour[I used Maida ] 2. 3/4 Cup of vanilla custard powder [I used wheat flour] 3. 1/2 cup of Powdered sugar [You can adjust sweetness as per your taste. I loved the breads with just about 2 tsp of powdered sugar] 4. 1 tsp of baking powder 5. 1/4 tsp  elachi powder 6. 2 Tbsp milk 7. Saffron/Kesar - few strands 8.4 Tbsp curds 9. 4 Tsp butter 10. Red Cherries for garnishing                           Dip Saffron/Kesar in milk for about 5 minutes. Sieve the all purpose flour + wheat flour and baking powder together into a dry bowl. Beat butter, curds, powdered sugar and kesar milk until all come together in a separate bowl. Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ones to form a soft dough. ...
