CREEPY WITCH FINGERS

28 October 2019 by Lisette Kreischer Leave a Comment

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Looking for a treat to scare the hell out of your friends and family? Try these creepy fingers, which are actually delicious almond cookies. They’re easy to make but the presentation is dramatically gruesome. Try them . . IF YOU DARE.

For ca. 25 fingers

INGREDIENTS

300 g (2 cups) plain flour
100 g (1 cup) almond flour
100 g (1 cup) fine granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
200 g ( 7/8 cup or 2 sticks) vegan margarine, cut in small cubes
1 tsp real vanilla extract
1 tsp real almond extract
1-2 tbsp water
ca. 25 blanched almonds or almond halves
raspberry jam
for extra dramatic effect: a dash of blue spirulina powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 175 C / 350 F.

Mix flour, almond flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add margarine and rub into the flour mixture with your fingertips. Add extracts and mix. DO NOT KNEAD! Kneading will develop too many gluten ‘strands’, which can make the cookies too tough. Add 1 tablespoon of water and if the dough is too dry, add a bit more water. The trick is to create a dough using your fingertips without really taking the dough into your hands and knead it. This will make all the difference and create beautiful shortbread like and brittle cookies.

Shape the dough into ca. 25 finger-shaped cookies. Dip the almonds in jam and place them onto the fingers like nails. Also add some jam around the almonds. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

For extra dramatic effect: mix a dash of blue spirulina powder with water and brush onto the almond nails while still hot.


HUIVERINGWEKKENDE HEKSENVINGERS

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Ben je op zoek naar een gruwelijke traktatie om je familie en vrienden de stuipen op het lijf mee te jagen? Probeer dan deze griezelige heksenvingers, welke eigenlijk super lekkere en vredige amandelkoekjes zijn. Super eenvoudig te maken en dramatisch effect gegarandeerd!

Voor +/- 25 vingers

INGREDIENTEN

300 g tarwebloem
100 g amandelmeel
100 g fijne lichtbruine suiker
1/2 tl zout
1 zakje bourbon vanille suiker
200 g plantaardige bakboter, in blokjes
1 tl echte bitteramandelextract
1-2 el water
ca. 25 blanke amandelen of amandelhelften
frambozenjam
voor exta dramatisch effect: wat blauwe spirulinapoeder

BEREIDING

Verwarm de oven voor op 175 C.

Meng bloem, amandelmeel, suiker, zout en vanillesuiker in een kom. Voeg boter toe en wrijf met je vingertoppen door het mengsel. Voeg amandelextract en meng tot het een deeg vormt. NIET KNEDEN! Kneden zal teveel glutenstrengen ontwikkelen waardoor de koekjes taai kunnen worden. Voeg vervolgens 1 el water toe en als het deeg te droog blijft nog wat water. De trick is om een deeg te vormen met je vingertoppen zonder echt te kneden met je handen. Dit zal alle verschil maken en zorgen voor heerlijke, shortbread-achtige en brossige koekjes.

Vorm uit het deeg ca. 25 ‘vingers’. Dip de amandelen in frambozenjam en plaats ze op de vingers als nagels. Smeer ook wat jam rondom de amandelen. Bak de vingers 15-20 minuten, of tot ze goudbruin en gaar zijn.

Voor extra dramatisch effect: meng spirulinapoeder met een klein scheutje water en strijk over de amandelnagels als de vingers nog warm zijn.

Dear peeps, We have let our minds wander in regar Dear peeps,

We have let our minds wander in regards to the new reality we are finding ourselves in and to say it with the words of @zachbushmd (check out his posts!) we 'strongly believe there is too much bandwidth of the collective human consciousness spent on this topic’ so we are not gonna add anything to that besides a few things:

1. @thedutchweedburger just posted an amazing article on their blog that to us says it all

2. we are not quite sure if we will be able to continue our friday posts during the coming period, but will do our best to offer easy and delicious plant based inspiration, maybe through our stories

3. because we see a lot of sadness on social media right now we thought this recipe might cheer you up a bit. Just because a smile can do so much for yourself, your body and the world around you.

We created these Pupcakes in service of @worldanimalprotectionnl and you can find the recipe via their website (link in bio) in Dutch. If you need English, Google is your friend ;-). These vegan puppy dogs are worth a translation.

Stay safe!

Maartje & Lisette

VEG BOMBED GREEN CURRY Although we are still in t VEG BOMBED GREEN CURRY

Although we are still in the middle of the winter, it feels like spring every other day and that is why we felt a craving for a light and crispy curry stuffed with leafy greens and fresh flavours. And yes, we know we promised over at MAN.EAT.PLANT. never to do a bowl of green food on a white background. But given the fact that we aren't crazy about (even our own) rules and conventions we did a delicious bowl full of green food on a light background anyway. The comfort food box is checked though, we made sure of that.
