Easter Cashew Biscuits by Tanja Janecek
They are totally delicious! Based on a traditional Croatian European Easter almond biscuit, these are made with cashews to make them suitable for the failsafe diet.
GF & DF
Traditional Method
1 & 1/4 cups gf flour
Pinch salt
155g nuttelex
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 egg yolks
155g cashew meal (I blitzed raw cashews in my ninja)
Icing sugar for dusting
Combine all ingredients together with a fork or your fingers.
Thermomix Method
155g raw cashews
170g gf flour
Pinch salt
155g nuttelex
70g brown sugar
2 egg yolks
Icing sugar for dusting
Place cashews into Thermomix bowl, blitz on speed 9 for 10 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add remaining ingredients. Mix on speed 2 for 15 seconds to combine.
Roll fat little sausages (about walnut sized pieces of dough) and then bend them to look like crescent moons. Bake at 170 degrees for about 10 mins. Dust with icing sugar when still warm.
Notes: One thing you will need to be aware of is that the daily allowance of cashew while on the elimination phase of the failsafe diet is 10 per day… it may be hard to resist since they are so divine, everything in moderation.
