Old Fashioned Tea Cakes
This recipe has got to be a couple hundred years old. My copy says to bake in hot oven until edges are brown. You may need to experiment, but start with a 350 degree oven and bake for 11–13 minutes. Be sure to line your baking pan with parchment to prevent sticking. Any of our sprouted flours will work, even the gluten–free flours. If using spelt or rye flour you may need to add water, 1 tablespoon at a time to get a good dough consistency for rolling out.
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup maple or date sugar
- 3 cups to your health sprouted flour
- 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Add eggs and vanilla, blending well.
- Stir baking powder into flour and add slowly until a nice dough forms.
- Roll dough on a floured surface to 1/4–inch thickness.
- Cut dough into circles or use a cookie cutter.
- Place on lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 11–13 minutes, or until edges brown. Simple and delicious.
Sprouted Crackers
- 5 cups organic sprouted flour
- 2 1/4 cups organic whole buttermilk or yogurt
- 1/2 cup organic unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp aluminum-free baking powder
- 2 tsp sea salt
- Place flour and buttermilk in stand mixer and blend until slightly stiff dough forms.
- Add melted butter, baking powder, salt, and flavoring (see below).
- Blend well.
- Taking a fourth of the dough at a time, roll out to about 1/8 inch thickness on a floured surface.
- Using a knife or pizza wheel, cut crackers into squares.
- Place close together on a lightly buttered baking sheet and place in oven on lowest possible temperature (around 150-200 degrees).
- Leave in until completely dried (several hours).
- Will be crispy and yummy.
For older ovens, if your lowest temp is 200 degrees, prop door open very slightly (less than 1 inch) and dry at least over night. Food dehydrators work great, too, as well as a wonderful sunny day as long as you cover your crackers to keep bugs and dust away.
Variations:
Rosemary/Walnut – to basic recipe add 2 rounded tablespoons of ground rosemary, 1 tbsp. dried rosemary leaves, and ¼ tsp. of walnut oil.
Sesame/Poppy Seed – add 2 Tbsp. each of Sesame and Poppy Seeds
Cinnamon – add 4 Tbsp. ground cinnamon, ½ tsp. cinnamon oil, and ¾ cup sucanat or rapadura.
Cracked Pepper – add 2 Tbsp. of cracked black, green, or pink peppercorns.
