Vennai Biscuit, my favorite during my childhood and even now. We used to buy these from near by bakery. Soft and melts in the mouth.My father used to buy this biscuits after my fever, to ward off the bitterness of my tongue, the after effect of fever. This biscuit can be made on the stove top using a heavy bottomed pressure pan. The recipe is here.

2. Powder the sugar in a dry mixie jar to a fine powder.
3. Mix the sugar powder to the maida thoroughly, add butter and oil, baking soda and knead well.
