Corn flour cookies with flax seeds
A simple and accessible recipe for preparing a relatively healthy dessert. It will go perfectly with tea, as a snack on the road or at work.
Corn flour makes the cracker more crumbly and airy, while flaxseed enriches it with a whole range of beneficial elements, being a recognized "superfood" - a source of valuable dietary fibers, omega-3, B vitamins, phosphorus, selenium, magnesium, and other trace elements.
Even a beginner working with dough can handle corn flour cookies without eggs with flax seeds.
If sugar is excluded from the list of ingredients, you will get a savory cracker that can be used instead of bread with first courses.
Flax seeds are not the only suitable add-ins; sesame, pumpkin seeds, pieces of dried fruits, various nuts, or their mixtures can also be used.
Ingredients
Show ingredients
- corn and wheat flour - 110 g each;
- water - 100 ml;
- vegetable oil (without strong taste and aroma) - 4 tbsp;
- flax seeds - 5 tbsp;
- baking powder - 1 tsp;
- sugar - 3 tsp;
- salt - 1 tsp, no heap.
Preparation
- Place the two types of flour, baking powder in a bowl, mix (preferably with a whisk) - this will allow the mixture to saturate with oxygen and evenly distribute the components.
- Mix water and oil with salt and sugar, after their dissolution, pour into the prepared flour mixture. Knead the dough. It should come out pliable, soft, and not stick to your hands.
- Add the remaining ingredient - flax seeds. Knead until the seeds are evenly distributed.
- On parchment paper for baking (a silicone mat can also be used), roll out the dough to a thickness of 2-3 mm. Shape the cookies as desired and inspired - this can be cutting into diamonds, triangles, squares, strips, circles, or any other shapes.
- Place the blanks in the oven and bake for about fifteen minutes at 190 degrees. You should rely on the appearance of the baked goods: if you prefer a crispy cracker - bake longer until a rich golden color is achieved, and if you love soft and delicate cookies - remove from the oven as soon as the edges start to turn brown.
Corn flour cookies with flax seeds are ready. Enjoy your meal.
