Multigrain Biscuits

Marie biscuits are the most common and loved snacks that people have at tea time. I have seen my Grandfather have them as morning snack, My father still eats them (as he is diabetic) he is allowed to eat only Marie biscuits. 

These biscuits are in our family for generations. So it was a challenge for me to try and make these. 

I had seen my friends mom, make a soda and milk blend before making cookies and the bakes were very crunchy. After some trials, I tried my friends idea and made a blend and mixed cookie dough with it. 

The biscuits came out well, they are a big hit with my kids and hubby. My friends tasted these and loved them a lot. Some asked for recipe and wanted me to bake some for them. I baked a few batches and shared. As I worked really hard for getting the perfect texture, I wasn't comfortable in sharing the recipe right away.

But as I am over that phase now I am finally sharing it in this blog where my friends can check and try it.

They are eggless and very easy to prepare.
