Shrewsbury Biscuit - Hubby's Special

Thank God for a loving and understanding better-half :). This weekend my hubby took care of all the khana-peena...it is mighty exciting to have a husband who loves you and who dish out yummy food..:D, it makes you dangle your feet like a giddy teenager in love..ha..ha. 

To show my overflowing love and happiness i decided to bake the one&only biscuit he is crazy about, Pune's famed biscuit, the one and only Shrewsbury biscuit. As the sweet and buttery aroma filled up the house, I kid you not when i tell you that my dear hubby was like a little puppy waiting for his bone, he could not wait for these goodies to be baked:). It was great to see the little boy in him surface.

This biscuit is a traditional English biscuit with it's origin from Shrewsbury, a town in the British Midlands, the birthplace of the very famous Charles Darwin. A modified version of this biscuit is made in India, Pune is know for this baked goodness and i must say...this is a must bake if you are a butter loving person and my husband is...:D Here's the recipe.
