Recipe Description

This cookie is named after the semolina flour it is made with – the term ‘suji’ is Malay for semolina. Taste- and looks-wise, it is similar to the English or Scottish shortbread fingers – one can only guess at its origin. Other names for this cookie: Sugee cookie and sooji biscuit
