Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Semolina (rava)
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, cashews)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, semolina, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix sugar, low-fat milk, vegetable oil, and cardamom powder until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth dough. It should be soft but not sticky.
Fold in the chopped nuts gently into the dough.
Divide the dough into small equal portions and shape them into flat discs about 2 inches in diameter.
Place the shaped dough discs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once completely cooled, store the low-fat Sochen in an airtight container.
