Hi everyone. My first attempt at writing a post after experimenting and using this lovely flour for the past six months - including mince pies at Christmas. Well my grandson wanted to make chocolate biscuits but being fussy only wanted to make with his normal flour. Since then I thought why not make some with fiberflour? So I did and now can't stop eating them! The only thing I find different is that they don't spread quite so well as with plain flour as they crumble a bit round the edges. Anyone any suggestions to improve this? My grandson aged 9 hasn't twigged yet!! My simple recipe is as follows:
114g softened butter
60g erythritol (or similar sweetener)
1/2tsp-1 tbsp vanilla extract (I put in 2 tsp)
90g ultra fine fiberflour
15g cocoa powder
1 tbs almond milk (or milk of choice)
Mix butter, sugar, cocoa, vanilla essence and flour together (I do this by hand but can use a processor)
add milk as required
drop 20-25 drops onto baking sheet (according to the size you want)
Bake at 170 degrees C (my oven is circotherm so may need to adjust setting) for 115-20 mins but monitor to avoid burning.
Tip to crisp them up - TURN OFF oven and leave for about 5 mins
Leave to cool then remove with spatula onto rack to finish cooling. THEN ENJOY!
my calculations work out at just under 1 carb/biscuit for 20+ biscuits but it does depend on the cocoa etc that you use and I don't count sugar alcohols in erythritol.
Hope this works for you.
This sounds like a delicious recipe! I love how you've adapted it with fiberflour for a healthier twist. As someone who writes about health topics, I just wanted to mention that if anyone is experiencing unusual symptoms like burning chest pain in middle of chest covid, especially in the context of COVID-19, it’s important to seek medical attention. Chest pain can sometimes be linked to complications related to COVID, so it's crucial to be aware of other signs and symptoms. For more information, feel free to check out my blog for a detailed guide on burning chest pain in the middle of the chest during COVID. Stay safe and enjoy your biscuits!
Maybe a little egg yolk mixed into the dough would help regarding the crumbling?
