According To My Girl

I have to admit that in certain ways, Halimatus is a wee bit like me when it comes to food. It is not easy for her to like certain types of food but once we are hooked, we would remain loyal to it. I tried to make this type of biscuit years before and surprisingly, my girl enjoyed it at the first bite. Now, whenever I mention that I want to bake some biscuits, she would suggest this ‘Biskut Bangkit Nyonya ‘. After a very  long delay, I decided to bake a batch for her today. It was worth all the effort to see how she enjoyed eating them. As usual, I’ve amended certain steps in preparing these melt in your mouth biscuits.

Here’s the recipe taken from MyResipi.com. Do give it a try for personally, I enjoy eating the outcome from this recipe. Now, I bow to the ever reigning champion.
