Why cooks start here

Cardamom Biscuits belongs to the everyday cooking of urban cafes, where its aroma calls everyone to the table. This home version keeps the flavors direct and generous, the way a family cook serves it.

Cardamom Biscuits are a staple in the urban cafes of Ethiopia, where their enticing aroma beckons patrons for a moment of pause and enjoyment. This beloved treat is a reflection of everyday life, offering a comforting break from the hustle and bustle. Unlike more elaborate pastries, these biscuits speak directly to the heart of home cooking, where simplicity and warmth reign supreme. The biscuits should offer a tender crumb with a touch of sweetness, balanced by the warm, citrusy notes of cardamom. As you bite into them, the subtle spice should unfold gently, supported by the richness of butter or oil, making them perfect companions to a steaming cup of Ethiopian coffee.
