Seeded Honey Thins

21st August 2020 by Louise
Seeded Honey Snaps
Seeded Honey Thins

I don’t know about you, but there are moments when I crave a delightful indulgence during my afternoon tea break. Well, these honey-seeded snaps are the ideal choice!

These honey-seeded thins offer a perfect balance of sweetness, crunchiness, and nuttiness, all while packing a nutritional punch. You’ll find yourself devouring an entire batch; they are that irresistible. Enjoy them on their own, or pair them with thick and creamy Greek-style yogurt and luscious fruits like roasted peaches.

If this recipe appeals to you, you might also be interested in exploring Swedish Gluten-Free Seeded Crispbread.

Seeded Honey Thins

approximately 35 Thins
Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cook Time20 minutes mins
Course: Fika/Snack

Ingredients

  • 150 g sesame seeds
  • 40 g pumpkin seeds
  • 30 g sunflower seeds
  • 100 g honey
  • 1 tbls sunflower oil
  • 1 good pinch Malden salt
  • ½ lemon, zest only

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 175°C fan.
  • Heat a shallow pan to medium, add the sesame seeds. Heat and stir until golden, add the pumpkin and sunflower seeds, stir and remove from the heat. Now add the honey, salt, zest and oil, stir. Spread the mixture with a spatular or palette knife on a parchment lined baking tray as best as you can and as thinly as possible.
  • Bake 5-10 mins, or until golden. Remove from the oven. As the thins cool, they begin to harden, cut into even size pieces if that’s what you like or cut into shards.
  • Store in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks. They will soften and become more chewy over time but are still good to eat.

Tips:

  • Serve with roasted peaches, plums or nectarines. Bake in the oven on 180℃ fan, drizzle with honey or light brown sugar, add a sprig of thyme or rosemary. Bake for 15 -20 minutes.
  • Also delicious with macerated strawberries and raspberries.
  • Add them to a cheese board, the hint of sweetness works so well with salty cheese.
  • For added interest and taste combine black and white sesame seeds.
  • Substitute with chia seeds as an alternative flavour.

Blueberry sugar buns from Buns, Sweet & Simple Bak Blueberry sugar buns from Buns, Sweet & Simple Bakes 📖 - but I couldn’t resist a little riff: a raspberry sugar coating, and cardamom in the dough because it works so well with raspberry (and, let’s be honest, I have a mild addiction to it). That warm spice against the tart raspberry is exactly the flavour combination I’m looking for.

Full method’s in the book page 61, video of the process is up on my stories and highlights now.

As summer draws to a close and the days grow short As summer draws to a close and the days grow shorter (and definitely cooler), autumn is knocking. I’m definitely ready for the golden light, cosy evenings, and warmer layers.

My summer recap: lots happening in real life, not much of it made it onto here though. We’ve spent plenty of time with family, and we’ve also gutted and started renovating our next home.

#summerrecap #celebrationcakes #buckinghamshire #helloautumn #reallifeupdate

Can’t believe my dahlias made it this year. I planted them late and the lack of rain, but they did okay!

Plenty of cake orders this summer, added just a couple here. Autumn weddings seem to be a thing this year.

Cornwall in July was magical - and not too hot!

Plenty of al fresco dining at home and away.

Plenty of blackberries still to be had, this was yesterday.

And you can’t beat a Cornish sunset…
A summer staple in our house: griddled aubergine, A summer staple in our house: griddled aubergine, courgette and big beef tomatoes layered with mozzarella in a rose harissa tomato sauce, with giant chickpeas for texture. Mop that sauce up with sourdough, and it’s lovely the next day.

Struggled with sourdough before? Come and learn t Struggled with sourdough before?

Come and learn the whole process on 4th September in Bourne End. Small group, hands-on, and you’ll leave with your own starter, two loaves, and a dough ready to prove and bake at home the next morning.

Link in bio to book - would love to have you.

Raspberry & Hibiscus Birthday Cake That pink is Raspberry & Hibiscus Birthday Cake 

That pink is freeze-dried raspberry powder through the Swiss meringue buttercream - for flavour of course, but it also turns the whole lot this gorgeous natural pink. Finished with fresh edible flowers. You can catch the assembly over on stories if you fancy seeing how it all came together.

In other news, we’ve been making the most of these cooler temperatures for eating outside. Pizza, baked fish, spatchcock chicken, on the Big Green Egg. I love eating al fresco.
We’re off to the Cornish coast soon too, and very much looking forward to the sea air, proper coastal walks and even better fresh fish.

Crustless Quiche I’ve filled this with griddled c Crustless Quiche

I’ve filled this with griddled courgette and oven-roasted tomatoes, though it really is one of those recipes that works with whatever vegetables you have in the fridge.

The cottage cheese stands out here - it gives the whole thing a lovely creamy, slightly sour depth that you don’t expect. Along with 6 eggs, a good mature hard cheese and a couple of tablespoons of crème fraîche, that’s genuinely all you need. Bake in a 20cm/8inch lined tin.

180°C for 35 minutes. Equally good warm or at room temperature, which makes it very useful for this time of year.
