GLUTEN AND SUGAR FREE NOUGAT BISCUIT RECIPE

I love baking for mum. It's always a challenge and experimental since it has to be gluten and sugar free. Mum has been on this diet for over 4 years now.

Today's experiment: Gluten free and sugar free (well almost if you forget about the sugar in the nougat) nougat biscuits inspired by Wedgewood's Angels nougat biscuits. The recipe was adapted from niQi's Butter Nougat Biscuit recipe.

Ingredients:

250g butter

1/2 cup xylitol powder

3/4 cup Maizena (corn flour)

1 tsp vanilla essense

2 cups Natures Choice Gluten Free Cake Flour

110g Wedgewood macadamia nougat (chopped)

Method:

1.Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius.

2.Beat butter and xylitol until light and creamy.
3.Add the maizena and vanilla essence. Beat well.

4.Add the flour gradually until a soft dough is formed.

5.Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes.

6.Add the chopped nougat to the dough.


7.Roll out the dough. Using cookie cutters cut out your desired shapes.
8.Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden.

9. Coat warm biscuits in extra xylitol powder.
