Here is the pre-programmed baking fun: test the gluten-free buckwheat cookies from Spoonsparrow!

Ingredients

  • 600 g buckwheat flour
  • 300 g butter
  • Salt
  • 200 g apricot jam
  • 125 g powdered sugar
  • buckwheat flour (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Knead flour, butter, 200 ml water and a pinch of salt quickly into a smooth dough. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.

  2. 2.

    Divide the dough into four portions and roll each to about 4 mm thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out six animal head shapes from each portion or use a dough grid to stamp them. Place the cutouts on a baking tray. Knead the remaining scraps together, roll again, and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (middle rack) for about 10 minutes. Open the oven door and let the cookies cool in the turned-off oven.

  3. 3.

    Warm the apricot jam, strain it through a fine sieve, and spread thinly over the cookies. Whisk powdered sugar with 1 tbsp water until smooth. Transfer to a small piping bag and pipe eyes, nose, and mouth onto the animal heads.
