In another bowl sift together  maida and baking powder.To this add in the beaten egg mixture and stir gently untill well combined. Grease a biscut tin/put a butter paper and pour in drops of batter using a teaspoon.Leave enough space between each drop as while baking the biscuts expands. Place the baking tray in the oven at 180deg for about 7-8mins.When its baked remove from the oven and let it cool.When its cooled remove the biscuts to a tin/saucer and serve. NOte: The biscuts are to be baked in batches ,instead of over crowding them. With this small quatity of batter you may get loads of biscuts to be stored. These can be stored in air tight containers for days.
