RE: [RC] snacks - Libby & Quentin Llop DVMI
drink a 50/50 mix of rootbeer and soymilk at the vetchecks. Here is a recipe for
a really tough bar cookie that keeps well: 1 1/2 cups honey,3 TBS butter,2 cups
whole wheat flour with 1 Tbsp baking powder, 2 Tbsp lemon or orange peel or
mixture,2 tsp cinnamon,1/2 tsp cardamom, 1/4 tsp cloves,1/4 tsp mace, allspice
or coriander,1/2 cup chopped almonds or other nuts, 1 1/2 to 2 cups whole wheat
flour.
Have all the ingredients ready to mix quickly before the mixture
stiffens with cooling.
Heat
the honey in a sauce pan slowly just until liquidy; remove from heat. Stir in
the butter and then the sifted flour with baking powder to make a thick batter.
Add the fruit peel, spices, and nuts and then add the additional flour until a
dough forms. Pat the dough into a buttered pan until you have a layer 3/8 "
thick. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Don't over bake or they will be rock hard.
The bottom will be lightly browned and the top dry but not brown when done.
Remove from pan while still warm and slice into bars. Cool before storing.
