Almond biscuits come together with just a few ingredients and 25 minutes. Surprisingly, these are very easy to make. However, they do not rise much while baking due to lack of starch and gluten. Having said that, they are excellent, fragrant and good enough to binge on them (like I did today 😝)

- Use Italian seasoning and sprinkle cheese
- Use garlic and thyme or rosemary (dried herbs)
- If you like them spicy, add paprika, cloves to almond biscuits.
- You can also add Indian spices like fennel seeds, coriander, nutmeg, and ginger to give that punchy kick of masala biscuit to serve along with Tea.
