Well, now, let me tell ya somethin’ ‘bout these biscuits made with sesame and millet flour. These little treats are mighty tasty, and I reckon they ain’t just good, but also a bit healthier than your regular biscuits. You see, instead of using that white flour that don’t do nobody any good, we’re gonna use millet flour. Millet flour, it’s a bit like cornmeal but softer, and it brings a mild flavor that ain’t too strong, just right for makin’ biscuits, I tell ya.
Now, the first thing you’ll need is some millet flour, about a cup. You don’t wanna get it confused with cornmeal, mind ya, it’s finer and a bit lighter. You also need sesame seeds. These little seeds, they’ve got a nice crunch and a nutty taste, so sprinkle ‘em right on top when yer biscuits are done. I know, I know, they’re a little bit fancy, but trust me, they make the biscuits taste real good.
Here’s what ya need to get started:
- 1 cup of millet flour
- 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds (optional, but why not?)
- 1/4 cup of jaggery powder, or sugar if you ain’t got that
- 3 tablespoons of ghee (that’s like butter, but richer)
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 cup of water, or a little more if the dough’s too dry
Now, what ya gotta do is mix all these things together. You put the millet flour, salt, and baking powder in a big ol’ bowl. Then, melt the ghee—don’t just dump it in cold, no, melt it nice and slow. Once that’s done, you pour it in the bowl with the dry stuff, and mix it up with your hands. It’s gonna be a bit crumbly at first, but that’s just how it is. Now, you slowly add the water, little by little, till the dough starts comin’ together. Don’t add too much water all at once, ‘cause it’ll get too sticky, and we don’t want that.
Time to shape them biscuits!
Once the dough’s ready, grab a spoon and scoop up some of that dough. Plop it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you want, you can flatten them a bit with the back of your spoon, but I like ‘em a bit chunky, gives ‘em more of a homemade feel, ya know?
Now, if you’re feelin’ extra fancy, you can brush a bit of egg wash over the top of the biscuits and then sprinkle the sesame seeds on ‘em. It’ll make ‘em shiny and give ‘em that extra somethin’. But if you don’t got an egg, don’t worry about it—ain’t no need to fuss too much.
Into the oven they go!
Preheat your oven to about 360°F, that’s about 180°C for folks who like their numbers funny. Pop those biscuits in there, and let ‘em bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and smellin’ all good. When you open that oven door, you’re gonna get hit with the smell of somethin’ real good, I promise ya that!
Now, here’s the fun part—eatin’ ‘em!
When they come out, let them cool down a little, but not too much, ‘cause I can never wait too long to bite into one! You can eat these biscuits with butter, or jam, or even just plain. They’re real good with a cup of tea or coffee in the mornin’. And if you’re like me, they go real well with some pickles too. Might sound funny, but don’t knock it ‘til you try it.
What’s nice about these millet flour biscuits is that they’re a bit healthier than the regular ones, see? Millet’s got lots of fiber and nutrients, and it don’t spike your blood sugar like that white flour does. So, these biscuits, they’ll fill ya up but not weigh ya down. You can make ‘em as a snack, or even serve ‘em with a meal. If you got folks over, they’ll be mighty impressed, I tell ya!
So there you go! Give ‘em a try and see if you don’t like ‘em. They’re simple, tasty, and just a little bit different from your regular ol’ biscuits. And the best part is, they ain’t hard to make at all!
