Nutritional values

Whole-grain rice flour contains the so-called silverskin of the grain, which provides valuable nutrients. First and foremost, these are vitamins of the B group, which strengthen our nerves and are important for our energy metabolism.

If you can't get whole grain rice flour, you can simply replace it with whole grain spelt flour, just like the spelt flour type 630.

Preparation steps

1.

Separate eggs (use egg yolks elsewhere). Mix egg whites with powdered sugar, 1.75 ounces honey and 1 pinch of salt. Gradually add rice flour, 8.8 ounces spelt flour, and ground almonds and knead everything into a smooth, malleable dough; add cold water or flour as needed. Form into 2 rolls and chill for 30 minutes or place in the freezer.

2.

Cut rolls into slices about 1⁄4 inch thick. Press 1 floured almond into the center of each, press a pattern around the almond with a fork, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Mix remaining honey with 2 tablespoons water and brush onto cookies. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C / 400 °F for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the tray and allow to cool.
