Cookies and Hot Cross

Choc Chip Cookies

3/4 buckwheat

1/2 sorgum

1/2 potato starch

1/4c corn starch

1tsp Xanthan Gum

1/2 tsp sea salt

2tsp Baking Powder

1/2c grape seed oil

1 1/2c brown sugar

1tbsp vanilla extract

2tbsp honey

5-6 tbsp milk

1 egg

1/4 c choc chips

Combine. Chill in the fridge for an hour. bake for 12-15 minutes in 200 degree oven.

These tasted delish! BUT mind you, they were probably overly sweet. I think that these are too soft, next time I'll add more starches to make them crispier and more cookie like. They weren't bad tasting by any means but I wouldn't sell my soul for one. They were satisfactory, the chewy cookies are nicer and i only played it by eye!

Hot Cross Buns! (they look retarded but taste BRILLIANT!)

3 tsp yeast

1 3/4c rice milk (warmed in the microwave)

2tbsp sugar

whisk and let it rest 10 minutes

In a mixer bowl combine: 3 c orgran self raising flour 1/4 cup millet flour 1/2 tsp baking powder (gluten free) and a sprinkle of vanilla sugar

Add 2 tsp cinnamon and 2tsp mixed spice and 1/2 tsp salt.

Rub in 60g of margarine. Add 1 1/2 cup fruit and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Add in 2 eggs, 1 tbsp honey, 1tsp Xantha gum, 1tbsp vanilla syrup and the rested yeast liquid. Beat for 7 minutes.

Use 1/3 cup to make the mounds-not 2 spoons like i did, and let it rest for 45 minutes.

Set the oven to 200 degrees while you get the crosses going: 2tbsp orgran self raising flour. 1tsp icing sugar and add 1 tbsp of water at a time to get a thick mixture (if its fluid it will run all over the place!).

Spoon into a bag and snip the end off and pipe crosses on the buns.

Bake it for 20-25 minutes. If they are large you might want to lower the temperature to cook it more evenly to 180 and cook for slightly longer.

Brush on melted jam as a glaze if you want! :)

DONE!

Heavily based on THIS recipe with a few changes to make them fluffier and yummier.

These however taste like REAL hot cross!!! Seriously. Epic.
