Cinnamon Biscuits With Cardamom Icing

October 3, 2017 · by munchiesandmunchkins · 8 Comments

Cinnamon Biscuits With Cardamom Icing

I have developed a bit of a thing for Cardamom so you may find lots of recipes coming up including it as an ingredient. It is such a wonderfully aromatic flavour and it really adds something to these simple biscuits. These Cinnamon biscuits with cardamom icing are perfect for Autumn with just the right hint of spice but would also make delicious Christmas treats…yes I said the C word..it is only a few months away now.

Cinnamon Biscuits With Cardamom Icing

I have started to experiment with using a mixture of flours and sugars when baking and I really like the difference in flavour just by adding the buckwheat flour and dark brown sugar here. However if you prefer the buckwheat is easily substituted with plain white flour and the brown sugar can be replace with caster sugar. You could also use butter instead of coconut oil but the flavour added by the coconut is one of my favourite parts.

Cinnamon Biscuits With Cardamom Icing

You will need:

For the biscuits:

150g Self Raising Flour

150g Buckwheat Flour

125g Coconut Oil

50g dark brown sugar

50g caster sugar

2tsp organic Ceylon cinnamon powder

1 egg

For the icing:

100g sieved icing sugar

1/2 tsp ground cardamon powder or 5 cardamom pods, crushed

40ml warm whole milk

Preheat oven to 180c. Line or grease/flour a flat baking tray Mix your flours and cinnamon together in one bowl. In a separate bowl soften your coconut oil to the consistency of softened butter ( 30 secs in microwave should do it ) add your sugars and cream together until smooth, beat your egg and add to the bowl before mixing well. Now add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients to form a dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until you have a smooth dough. Roll out so the dough is about 1/4 inch thick and use a cutter to create whatever shape biscuits you like, the amount of biscuits made will depend on the size of your cutter but you should get around 30. Place on the baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden, leave to cool and harden.

Now make your icing:

Add your cardamom to your milk and heat, pour through a sieve onto the icing sugar in a mixing bowl and mix until smooth. Pour or drizzle over your biscuits as desired.

Allergy Friendly Muffins

March 28, 2015 · by munchiesandmunchkins · 5 Comments

I’m just starting to get to grips with this new style of baking.. I miss my normal flours which work in the way I’m used to. The rich butters which give so much flavour and being able to just toss in ingredients whenever I fancy but I have to try and make food and especially snacks more appealing for Chloe. Yesterday we had a bad day with her health wise and a massive lack of sleep and I was grouchy and frustrated so I used that negative energy to create this delicious cakes for her.

Chloe Coconutty Cakes

150g Dove Gluten free SR flour
100g caster sugar
1 small mashed banana
1.5 tsp of vanilla paste or extract
75ml water
15 ml of coconut milk
6 tbsp of melted coconut oil

Mix together the sugar, oil and vanilla in a high speed stand mixer – I advise this because coconut oil solidifies quickly so you need to move fairly fast. Add your mashed banana, flour, water and coconut milk. Blend until smooth.

Place into muffin cases and bake for approximately 15 mins or until golden and spring back when pressed lightly on top.

When slightly cooler, dust lightly with icing sugar or Cocoa powder mix of both.

This made 6 decent size muffins with a large spoonful or so leftover. Its quite a firm mixture so I used it to make cocoa dusted truffles..more on that to come.

This recipe is Dairy Free, Egg Free, Gluten Free and Soy Free. It’s also actually pretty tasty too! Chloe demolished hers in record time and considering her appetite is pretty shocking right now that’s brilliant.

I’ve popped one in the freezer just to see if it freezes well and I’ll keep you posted on that.
