  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 15 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (112 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Dairy-free
  • Contains: alcohol, gluten, honey, nut

Ingredients

  • 50 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 25 g Honey
  • 15 g Walnuts
  • 10 g Vegetable oil
  • 1 g Black pepper
  • 1 g Baking soda
  • 5 g Spirits
  • 5 g Sugar

Method

  1. Warm the honey gently until runny, then stir in the sugar, oil, brandy and black pepper.
  2. Mix in the baking soda and flour, and fold in the chopped walnuts, to form a firm dough.
