My mother used to do this sweet .This is done using wheat flour being kneaded softly with butter and sugar.Egg can be added in the process but strict Vegetarians can avoid the usage of Egg.Eggless and small sized squares can be added in the Mixer.Its lot easier to do .This serves 4 nos(atleast 25 squares) and needs 15 mins cooking time.U can bake it,or make and fry it.U can add choco chips,dry fruits,dessicated coconut,etc and try this sweet squares.Enjoy cooking at home.BonAppetit!.
