Sweet Diamond Cuts Recipe with step by step pictures. This recipe is also known as maida biscuits and these diamond cuts are coated in sugar syrup which makes crispy and crunchy snack.
I would say that this recipe will be a easy but tasty snack which you can make for diwali..I made it in minutes and it tasted divine..So crispy and so yummy..I have already shared a spicy version before, this is a sweet one.
This is a crispy fried snack, which is coated in a sugar syrup which has cooked really well, so it creates a sugary crust over the cuts..Some people add sugar to the dough and make, but i prefer it this way. It is more tasty.

Hi Aarthy,
I usually use to add sugar powder in dough itself and after reading this method I tried it. I just love this way,. Instead of diwali snack it became evening snack at my home.

Hi
The biscuits came out so tasty. Thanks for the recipe. I used atta instead of maida for a healthy twist. Is there any way I can bake these biscuits before adding them to the sugar syrup. If yes baking time please. Iam an avid follower of your baking recipes and have successfully recreated a couple. Thanks for everything
