Graham cracker dough recipe

Ingredients:

 

2 cups all-purpose flour 

 

1 cup brown sugar 

 

1 tsp baking soda 

 

3/4 tsp salt 

 

Pinch of cinnamon 

 

 7 tbsp butter, chilled, chopped into cubes 

 

1/3 cup honey 

 

5 tbsp milk 

 

2 tbsp vanilla extract

How to make the graham cracker dough: 

 

Mix the dry ingredients. 

 

In another bowl whisk the milk, honey and vanilla together. 

 

Add the butter to the dry ingredients, mix until it looks like coarse cornmeal. 

 

Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture. 

 

A dough should form. 

 

If a dough doesn't form add more flour, up to half a cup. 

No need to over-knead here.

 

Wrap in plastic and chill for an hour. 

 

Roll out your dough on a well-floured surface with a rolling pin, making sure not to make the dough too thin or thick. 

 

What you’re looking for is a 1/4 inch.

 

Cut the dough with a pizza cutter. Trust me, it’s easier this way!

 

 Score the cookies down the center length-wise. Don’t go the whole way through.

 

Transfer cookies to baking sheet. Preheat oven. 

 

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees.

Banana halwa

I had 2 quite ripe nethrampalam, so, decided to make halwa.I'm sure this can be made with other green banana also, as one such recipe was shown by a lady. But today, I made it the easier way.

Ingredients

banana 2 ( cut into pieces)

maida 1 cup

ragi + kanji pdr mix 5 tsp ( optional)

ghee roughly 6-7 tbsp

nuts as desired

vellam roughly 3/4 cup ( honestly none of the ing. were measured)

cardamom pdr/ any essence, I used essence

salt a pinch

Method

heat 1 tbsp ghee, fry banana, till it becomes soft and you can mash with the ladle. 

I did in non-stick pan, it took about 3-4 minutes on low flame. 

once it was well mashed, I added the nuts to roast as there was some ghee in the pan. 

Then I added maida, mixed well, added another 2 tbsp of ghee, then added ragi pdr, mixed well, kept stirring on low flame for about 5 minutes, it all came together as a mass.

added another tbsp ghee, then added vella podi, a pinch of salt,  kept stirring till it was all absorbed, roughly 4-5 minutes.

then added last 1 tsp ghee, added badam milk essence, mixed well, spread on a lightly greased plate, let it set for about 15 minutes, then I'ld cut it into pieces !

I'll ask my daughter / daughter-in-law to FW pic. from the Whatsapp to my email and see if I can post it here. Good luck, today is Onam, wish one and all a very happy Onam, with good health, peace and happiness.
