Shakarpara

Combine butter and milk in a bowl and microwave it for 1 minute. Then add the sugar and mix it till the sugar dissolves.

In a mixing bowl, add plain flour, corn flour and cardamom powder. To it, pour the wet ingredients mixture and knead into a soft dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into 4 equal size balls. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into 1/2"thick circle. Then using a sharp knife make horizontal and vertical cuts across the circle to form 1" square shapes.

Fry the shakarpara in hot oil over a medium flame, so that they cook well without burning. Once they turn golden brown in colour, take them out of the oil and place them on a plate lined with kitchen towel, to drain any excess oil.

Once they cool completely, store them in an airtight container. They can be served with masala chai.
