3-Ingredient Suji Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250g) corn flour (tepung jagung)
  • 4 tbsp (80g) condensed milk (susu pekat)
  • 2 tbsp (30g) butter (room temperature)

Note: For vegan version, use margarine and sweetened condensed coconut milk.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking tray
  • Fork for patterning
  • Oven

Simple Preparation Steps

1. Mix the Dough

Combine all ingredients until they form a soft, pliable dough. If too dry, add ½ tsp condensed milk; if sticky, add 1 tsp corn flour.

2. Shape the Biscuits

Roll small portions into balls. Place on baking tray, leaving space between. Flatten slightly with a fork to create criss-cross patterns.

3. Bake to Perfection

Bake at 160°C for 18-20 minutes until edges turn golden. Let rest on tray for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack.

Malaysian Baker’s Secrets

Texture Control

For extra crispiness, reduce condensed milk by 1 tbsp. For softer biscuits, add ½ tbsp melted butter.

Creative Variations

Add vanilla essence or citrus zest to dough. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or cocoa powder before baking.

Storage Tips

Store in airtight container. Freeze for up to 2 months – re-crisp in 150°C oven for 3 minutes.

Common Questions

Can I use wheat flour instead?

Corn flour is essential for the signature texture. Wheat flour will yield dense biscuits.

Why did my biscuits spread?

This means your butter was too soft or measurements were off. Chill dough if kitchen is warm.

Can I make these without oven?

Yes! Cook in non-stick pan over lowest heat for 8-10 minutes per side with lid.
