When the packets of store-bought chips and biscuits lie untouched at home and you have to hand them over to the house helps, the elation, a compulsive baker gets is beyond words. This is the motivation you need to try new baking recipes. And I get ample of this at home.

These days I am trying savoury bakes. These biscuits are my attempt to create the bakery-style ajwain biscuits. I have made them with whole wheat and sorghum flour. The combination of two opposite tastes sweet and salty makes these biscuits highly delectable and you can’t stop at one.

If you want to make similar sweet-salty biscuits with whole wheat flour and cumin seeds, please find the recipe here.

These biscuits are a healthier version of the previous bake as I have replaced half the Wheat flour with Sorghum flour. The taste is much better than the whole wheat biscuits and the crunch is absolutely heavenly.

Notes

If you are using granulated brown sugar, powder it in a grinder.

These biscuits are mildly sweet. If you want sweeter biscuits,increase the amount of sugar.

Don't knead the dough too much.

I have used a small cookie cutter. You can make bigger biscuits by using a big cutter.

Baking time may vary depending upon your oven temperature settings.
