Shrewsbury Biscuits

Posted by Prasad Satkar on

They say you haven’t had a real biscuit until you have had famous Shrewsbury Biscuits from Kayani bakery from Pune. It was raining outside today even though it’s mid October now (very unusual for Pune this year). I decided to recreate these buttery beauties so that I can reliah it with a hot cup of masala chai.

Shrewsbury are a classic buttery English cookies named after Shrewsbury, the county town from UK. These are made from dough which contains flour, sugar, butter, egg and lemon zest. Very easy to make and tastes too good!
