In a mixing bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder

Add vanilla essence and ghee, little at a time

Add enough ghee to combine the mixture, you’ll need less than a cup

Add the milk to soften the dough to a malleable dough.

Shape into little round balls and flattened slightly onto a baking tray

Lightly and carefully brush each biscuit with egg wash

Decorate with nut, cherries or jam

Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 18 – 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

Do not overcook the biscuits as it’s a very delicate biscuit and will crumble easily.
