EASTER BISCUIT

EASTER BISCUIT

( Butterless)

This biscuit does not require any butter. Instead, it uses sunflower oil which is healthy and suitable for weight watchers. I find that the biscuit is a little bit hard and not crunchy. The interior is not crumbly at all. I would suggest adding half shortening instead of using all oil. Your could add cornflour or custard to make it crunchy.
