Pepper Nuts
Pepper nuts are traditional cookies baked in December
- securing the Christmas hygge -
100 - 130 pcs / 15 min.
Ingredients
125 g sugar
125 g of soft butter
1/2 dl cream (preferably whipping cream)
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
(possibly a little finely chopped orange peel from
an organic orange)
1 teaspoon baking soda
250 g flour
How to:
Whip butter and sugar well together and then add the cream at low speed.
Stir all dry ingredients together in a bowl and then add to the bowl with the wet ingredients.
Knead the dough for a little bit - just until the Pepper Nuts are firm and easy to shape and knead together.
Pepper nuts are rolled into round ‘balls’ and placed close to each other on a baking sheet with baking paper - they will elevate slightly when baking.
Bake at 200 degrees for about 8-10 minutes - keep an eye on them because ovens are different and maybe they need a minute more or less in your oven. They should only be golden.
