Baking powder – ½ tsp

Milk – 1-2 tbsp approx.

Pineapple chunks – ½ cup

For the pineapple filling :

3)     Add the essence and keep aside

For the biscuits :

4)     In a mixing bowl add the wheat flour, salt, sugar, corn flour, and baking powder, mix well

5)     In another bowl add the sugar, essence and butter and beat well till it creams

6)     Add the flour mixture and make a smooth firm dough. You can add milk, I used 2 tbsp

7)     Make small balls of equal pairs (I got 8 balls)

8)     Line half of them in a greased pan

9)     Apply the filling on each of them

10) Place the other pair of the rounds on top and press so that the filling spreads. Do this gently, making sure the spread doesn’t ooze out

11) Bake this for 15-20 mins or till the sides get light brown in a 165 degree preheated oven
