Metric
Imperial
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup maple butter, maple sugar, maple taffy, or maple syrup (preferably dark syrup for its robust flavour)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla essence
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup maple nuggets
- 3/4 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 160° C (325° F).
- Put flour into an ovenproof dish and bake 20 minutes. Allow to cool a few minutes.
- In a bowl, use a wooden spoon to blend the butter with your chosen maple product and the vanilla.
- Gradually add half the flour, stirring to keep the mixture smooth. Add the milk and the rest of the flour, incorporating well.
- Use an ice cream scoop to form 8 balls, about 55 g (1/4 cup) each. Put a ball into each of 4 little pots or jars and sprinkle with half of the maple nuggets and pecans.
- Add a second ball to each container and sprinkle with the rest of the nuggets and pecans.
- At this stage, most maple-lovers will top each dessert with a drizzle of maple syrup. Then serve.
