A less sweet, more crumbly version of traditional kolacakor, these biscuits are great with coffee.
Author: Edinburgh Foody
Recipe type: Biscuit
Serves: 30
Ingredients
85 grams muscavado sugar
80 grams vegetable oil or butter
20 grams treacle
1 teaspoon each of ginger and cinnamon
250 gr buckwheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Cream sugar and fat. (If using oil, this takes second: just give it a good mix.)
Add in the treacle and stir carefully.
In a separate bowl, mix spices, flour and baking powder.
Add flour mixture to the fat and sugar mixture.
Mix carefully. The dough might not hold very well - the buckwheat mixture is quite dry. You can add a tablespoon or two of water, or use pressure to keep things together.
Divide into three pieces and form each into a roughly thumb-thick roll on the baking sheet, pressing the mixture into shape.
Cook at 175°C (160°C in a fan oven) for 10-12 minutes. The smaller amount of fat means that these won't change shape much at all.
Cut each strip into about 10 pieces while still warm.
Let cool completely before eating.
