What is needed
Yields 10 large cookies. The time includes one hour of refrigeration.
200g chestnut flour
100g rice flour, plus extra for dusting
90 g cold butter
35 ml (55 g) of Pure Dark Maple Syrup
1 egg
180g fig jam
Eight steps
Sandblasted
Sift the two flours, add the cold cubed butter, and work with your fingertips until it forms a sandy mixture.
League
Combine maple syrup and egg and mix, first with a fork, then with your hands, until the mixture is smooth and elastic.
One hour in the fridge
Form a disc and wrap it in cling film.
Roll out
On a lightly floured surface, roll out to about ½ cm thick, and cut out the cookies, placing them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
The hole
Cut a round hole in the center of half of the cookies.
Cook
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 8-10 minutes, then let cool.
Stuff
Once the biscuits are cold, spread a teaspoon of fig jam on the ones without a hole and cover them with the ones with a hole, pressing lightly.
Save
In an airtight container, in a cool place, for up to 3 days.
Two things to know
Fill them when cold. On a warm biscuit, the jam melts and runs out of the hole.
Half a centimeter is the right thickness. Chestnut flour is crumbly: thinner ones break when you pair them.
The ingredient
The variety used in this recipe. Dark, robust flavor: it holds up during cooking and stands out in a dough.
