Method
Line a baking tray with butter paper. Sift the maida and baking powder into a bowl. Add the salt and cardamom powder, then mix for 2 minutes until evenly combined and free of lumps.
Beat the softened butter and powdered sugar in another bowl for 3 to 4 minutes until pale and smooth.
Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture. Add the milk little by little and gently bring the dough together for 2 to 3 minutes until it is soft and not sticky.
Cover the dough and rest it for 15 minutes until it feels firm and easy to roll. After the first 5 minutes, preheat the oven at 170°C for 10 minutes until it reaches the set temperature.
Roll the dough to about ½ cm thickness on a clean, non-stick surface. Cut round biscuits and place them on the tray with a little space between them. Brush the tops lightly with a little of the milk.
Bake at 170°C for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are light golden and the tops look set. Cool the biscuits on the tray for 10 minutes before serving.
