200gms butter (softened at room temperature)
200gms powdered sugar
2 eggs
1tsp baking powder
2tsp vanilla essence
pinch of salt

1. Beat sugar and butter till sugar dissolves
2. Beat eggs till a fluffy foam forms up.
3. Mix maida and baking powder and sieve 3 times.
5. Once we have all mixing items ready , keep oven for preheating. Preheat the oven for 10min on 180 degree Celsius. Also grease the baking tray with butter and sprinkle some maida on it . Dust off access flour.
4. Now add foamed up eggs into sugar-butter mixture and gently fold them , don't mix vigorously.
5. Add vanilla essence and pinch of salt and mix.
    If  you are using salted butter no need to add salt.
6. Now add maida to this mixture in parts. Keep on mixing to avoid formation of lumps.
    Remember to bake cake immediately  and not keep the batter for long. Cake should go in oven as    soon as baking powder hits liquid.
7. Pour this into baking tray and keep it in oven for baking for 30-35 min.
8. Oven temperatures differ , hence you can keep a check after 20 min and if toothpick inserted in the middle of cake comes out clean it means cake is done.
9. Allow cake to cool down completely and then unmould it !

Cheesy Grilled Vegetable Sandwich

Hey guys ,

Its after a long time I am sharing yummy , easy to make breakfast/snacks recipe.

Time required : 30 min
Serves : 2

Ingredients :
4 bread slices
1 capsicum
1 tomato
2 tablespoons olive oil/ any vegetable oil
1 tsp pepper powder
1 tblsp oregano powder
2 Amul cheese slice/mozzarella cheese would be excellent
Amul Butter
Salt

Procedure :
First lets get our oven pre-heated for 10 min on 160 degrees C .
In the meantime lets get our veggies cut into BIG chunks because we are gonna get them into oven which will have shrinking effect on them .
Those of you'll who dont have oven , can try this in a non-stick pan covered from top with a aluminium pot , or anything that will lock the heat .

Then mix olive oil , pepper powder , oregano and salt . Next we will place the cut veggies on a oven tray and pour the olive oil mixture on them. Make sure you get the veggies covered with oil well :)

Lets get this tray into the preheated oven for around 15min. Now these settings differ from oven to oven. What we are looking for are shrinked and cooked veggies.

Now butter the slices, on one side put tomato ketchup  and on the other side put cheese slice and  veggies ! You can then toast them on a buttered pan or grill them in a sandwich maker till the slices go light brown and cheese starts melting !!!

Eggless Butter cookies !

10-12 biscuits 

Ingredients :

1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup softened butter
2/3 cup maida
1 tablespoon rice flour
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tablespoon milk ( if necessary)

Procedure :
1. Before you start preparing dough for cookies , start preheating the oven. I use Prestige OTG.
Function Knob pointing to -> both upper and lower heating
Temperature - 160 C
Time 15 min

1. In a bowl  take butter . Remember to take butter out of refrigerator 20min before you start. Beat the butter till it softens. Then add powdered sugar to it and whisk till sugar is mixed well and butter softens and kind of becomes fluffy.
2. Now add maida and rice flour and knead to a smooth and firm dough. You can add milk if required.
3. Grease a aluminium tray with butter and sprinkle flour, grease your hands and make small balls out of dough. Flatten these balls on your palm and place them on tray.
4. Now place the tray on central rack and bake for around 20 min. Keep a watch after 10 min since oven settings vary from one another.
5.When edges of cookies start turning golden you can stop . They will be soft and will harden after they are removed and cooled. You can then transfer them into air tight container.
