We have come up with a cookie recipe without flour or milk (or butter!) In the spirit of medieval cooking, there are no specific amounts because we were adapting as we went and baking until "it looked done," etc. but they ARE edible! The oil from the nuts replaces both flour and oil in moistening and holding the cookie together, although for it to work they must be ground up very fine with the chocolate or the cookies will crumble. I reccommend either a food processor, or putting the first two ingredients in a heavy duty ziplock and taking a hammer to it. :D
to maken lute kaakis nat of flowre ac melk
to make little cakes not of flour or milk
nim nutis mid (chocolate) and braye heom in an morter
take nuts with chocolate and pound them in a mortar
and do þerto a dole of sucre and an eeg and a lute sinamome.
and put (in) a portion of sugar and an egg and a little cinnamon
Hete the ouen and bake it wel. Serue lute kaakis hate.
Heat the oven and bake it well. Serve little cakes hot.
Grind (as discussed above) two handfuls of nuts (we used peanuts, maybe two cups or a little less) with almost a whole bag of chocolate chips. add about 3/4 cup of sugar and an egg and bake at 350. good luck!

This is nuts (pun intended) that you can make cookies without flour! Great job, and way to find a cookie recipe that doesn't need flour!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative idea! Thanks for sharing it, Coleman.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this gluten free recipe! Very creative. I like the part about the hammer best. You should put that into the Middle English instructions.
