There are some flavours that don’t just tantalize the taste buds—they echo through time, stirring memories of warm afternoons, bustling kitchens, and the gentle clinking of teacups. For those who grew up in the southern parts of Karnataka, especially in the ’90s, one such treasured delight was the humble yet regal Benne Biscuit.
Though the name might draw parallels with the famed Danish butter cookies, make no mistake—our Benne Biscuits, especially the ones lovingly crafted in the Iyengar bakeries, are a class apart. These aren’t just cookies; they are soft, melt-in-the-mouth pebbles of joy that carry with them stories, traditions, and the unmistakable warmth of home.
More Than Just a Biscuit
What made these biscuits so special? Maybe it was the soft, slightly crumbly texture that dissolved effortlessly, leaving behind a whisper of sweetness. Or perhaps it was the aroma that filled the air the moment you opened the tin box, tucked away in kitchen cabinets across countless households. Every bite was a gentle reminder of visits to grandma’s house, where these biscuits were offered with a smile and a steaming cup of filter coffee.
Unlike the rich, overly sweet butter cookies of European fame, our Butter Biscuits struck a delicate balance—never too sugary, never too bland. Just the right amount of indulgence, they were adored by children and cherished by elders alike. In many homes, they weren’t just snacks; they were symbols of hospitality and warmth, always ready to be served to guests or enjoyed during those quiet, late-afternoon tea breaks.
