Ancient Honey Cakes (Rice Flour Cookies with Nuts or Poppy Seeds) image

In Ancient temples, they offered 'Honey Cakes' to the goddess. I Imagine that they were something like this! I adapted the rice flour for modern tastes, although you can try barley flour if you wish. Gluten-free! Sugar-free!

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup butter, softened
½ cup honey
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups rice flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Beat butter and honey together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; add eggs and mix well. Mix rice flour, baking powder, and cardamom into creamed butter mixture until dough is just mixed. Roll dough into small balls, about 1 heaping teaspoon each.
