Too Busy for Breakfast? - Take a Dip!
Breakfast - The most important meal of the day. For some. If you’re like me, you skip it and snack until lunchtime. I have a pot of 10+ on my desk that I stick various things in when I get hungry, and that is far better than elaborate smoothie bowls and overnight oats with a hundred toppings. Though I may post about those at some point...
What's best for dipping, you may ask? Here's my easy recipe for biscuit things:
Dipping into Honey:
- 125g Butter 2 ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ Cup Manuka Honey
- Heat your oven up to 180C and line an oven tray with baking paper.
- Soften the butter a wee bit in the microwave but don’t melt it into a clear puddle. Put it in a big mixing bowl with the honey.
- I’ve used a 5+UMF for manuka flavour without the expensive MGO. You can definitely use a 15 or 20+ for the stronger flavour, but be aware the cooking part will damage the unique manuka properties.
- Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until creamed and fluffy.
- Add the flour and use a wooden spoon to mix together into a dough.
- If it’s a bit of a crumbly mess get your hands in there. Smoosh it up until it forms a nice ball.
- Make a big mess in your kitchen by sprinkling flour on your bench in preparation for rolling out your dough.
- Roll that ball into a flat piece about 5mm thick. (About 1/4 inch for our imperial friends)
- Now, you can cut out cookie shapes with a cookie cutter and pop them on your oven tray. Or, cut the flat piece into long dippy sticks.
- Bake for 12 minutes and then cool on a wire rack.
- If you want a gluten-free option you can substitute the flour for rice flour, I’ve tried this and it tastes great. They’re crispier than wheat flour cookies but can burn a little on the edges if you don’t watch them.
If you made these give us a shout-out and show on @mandhnewzealand (even if you didn’t buy our honey for it - you never know when we might send out free samples!).
