About Iranian biscuit

Iranian biscuits, known locally as "Biskuit," are delicate, lightly sweet treats that originate from Persian cuisine. Typically crafted with a simple mixture of wheat flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and sometimes flavored with vanilla, cardamom, or rose water, these biscuits embody the subtleness of Persian desserts. Their texture ranges from crumbly to soft, depending on the recipe. While these biscuits are a source of quick energy due to their sugar and carbohydrate content, they are often moderate in fat compared to other baked goods, especially if traditional butter is replaced with lighter alternatives in preparation. However, their refined ingredients, such as white flour and sugar, may limit their nutritional benefits and should be consumed in moderation. These biscuits are commonly served alongside tea, making them a staple in Iranian hospitality and sweet snacking traditions.
