- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3-4 tablespoon kalonji

- 1/2 cup honey

Preparation
-
Whisk granulated sugar, baking powder, cardamom, salt, and 2 cups flour in a medium bowl to integrate. Include butter and toss to coat. Rapidly smash butter into flour mix with your fingers, working till the biggest pieces have to do with the size of a pea. Slowly stream in cream, tossing flour mix continuously with a fork to disperse. Utilizing a versatile bench scraper or tough plastic spatula, fold dough over and onto itself numerous times, scraping bottom and sides of bowl, to unite to a mass (the dough will feel sticky and really damp).
-
End up dough onto a kindly floured surface area. Pat to a 3/4″- thick rectangular shape or square with floured hands, utilizing bench scraper or spatula to raise dough and dust beneath with more flour as required to avoid sticking. Dust work surface area with more flour, then cut dough into 4 equivalent pieces and stack on top of each other. Dust with flour and press down on stack. Pat down to a 1/2″- thick square, cleaning with more flour as required. Utilizing bench scraper or sharp knife, cut dough into 2″ squares (do not fret if they aren’t ideal or perhaps); you need to have about 12. Chill till prepared to utilize.
