BISCUIT CAKE

PLAIN BARE CAKES ARE IN MY CAPACITY!

I will prepare them with kitchen staples, I will not buy a couple of ingredients to bake a cake that is not my forte! What are you asking me to learn at 51? I did no learning when it was required the most! I am always like, Oh! God, give me a bed or couch to lie down! I was back home after a long walk around 3:45pm, since then it's only a good sleep that is calling me! I was out of home since the morning; I went to the local market, then to the doctor! Thereafter, I walked to the old neighbourhood. I forgot it is X-mas time; there was a long queue in the parlour. I was passing time having cooler; had lunch, stood behind ten people to get my eyebrows, upper lips & chin clean; then caught a train back home! I took a shower, instead of lying down; made a late start sharing a bake with you whose photo feature was done in 2019, December! Why didn't I share it earlier?

I am having too much of sugary drinks these days; I always carry a bottle of water from home wherever I go!

BISCUIT IS SPECIAL LOVE I COULD NOT GET OVER AS YET!

Many warned me biscuits are nothing but full of sugar & flours! I cannot be that calculative! I wonder how people are articulate, careful with their words, steps. People high on emotion and nuts like me would never learn. But anyway, I do not mind;I can be a self centric but cannot be selfish! At 51, I need not achieve much in life, lets me be; roam around carefree; eat my chai, coffee with biscuits. I denounced my choice of biscuits; the cream stuffed varieties, ginger biscuits & other sugary ones! Our parents never allowed us cream biscuits. I do not support that too, we can be a bit indulgent given our kids' taste buds. I have allowed my son; one cannot make T indulgent, he is too restrictive about his food intakes. Bhai too does not think twice when he wants to eat something!

WHAT IS BISCUIT CAKE?

I keep trying new varieties of biscuits like my brother does with shampoos and soaps. Our parents were loyal to certain brands; T too is the same. "Do not they feel bored?" Some biscuit varieties do not go with my tastebud. I read about biscuit cakes, learnt those I do not like, if I have a variety of them; I can bake a BISCUIT CAKE! I like shortbreads, cannot remember why I used a full packet in the cake! A vegetarian cake is a welcome in my home; I cannot get along with the smell of egg in bakes & sweets unless done by a professional! Here is how I have baked world's simplest biscuit cake with the kitchen staples! Look what I am eating at 6:15pm after a heavy lunch!
