Sweet Diamond Cuts Recipe
Maida biscuits / Sweet Diamond Cuts are very easy to make and I love the whole process especially cutting them into diamonds with the special cutter.I always struggle cutting diamond shapes so I usually rehearse the pattern once in a paper sounds silly?! yes trust me I do it everytime I have to cut them into diamonds even for kaju katli I did that.We usually use a special designed cutter for making diamond cuts but you can very well use your pizza cutter or a normal knife to make this. The cutter has one side spoon and other side a wheel with designed edges, you can see that in my stepwise pictures,now its widely available in markets which can be used for somas too.

It is one of the easy snack recipes that you can even make it in the last minute for packing kids snack box.These biscuits are quite addictive that I bet you can stop munching when you start them.Now am waiting for your feedback :)
