Gluten-Free Ancient Honey Cakes with Nuts or Poppy Seeds
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 2 cups rice flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 2 teaspoons hemp seeds
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Next, lightly coat a baking sheet with a thin layer of cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter and honey using an electric mixer until you achieve a smooth and velvety texture. Gradually add eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. This will help prevent lumps from forming.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together rice flour, baking powder, and ground cardamom. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5
Using your hands or a small utensil, shape the dough into small balls, approximately 1 heaping teaspoon each.
6
In a separate container, place an even layer of hemp seeds. Press the top half of each dough ball gently onto the hemp seeds, making sure they adhere evenly.
7
Transfer these seed-coated dough balls to the prepared baking sheet, pressing them down slightly to achieve a uniform thickness of about 1/4 inch.
8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the edges are golden brown, taking around 20 minutes to achieve this result.
