Maple Syrup Recipes
Pearly May’s Maple Crumbly Coconut Cookies
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup oat flour*
1/3 cup shredded coconut
4 tablespoon brown sugar**
2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch salt
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. Mix dry ingredients except sugar in a bowl. Mix liquid ingredients plus sugar in another bowl, stir until sugar dissolves. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients, just until dough holds together and is workable. (you might use less than all liquid, or have to add a bit more water).
Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness (dust it lightly with flour so it doesn't stick to rolling pin). You can also just press the ball flat with your hand. Cut into cookies.
Place on baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Let cool. Enjoy & start again!
You can make many more kinds of cookies with this recipe, including salty ones. Experiment with flavors, herbs, etc.
Notes: * you can also make your own oat flour by grinding rolled oats in a food processor or blender to cornmeal consistency.
Maple Sticky Buns
1 tablespoon yeast
2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons Maple Valley maple sugar
2 tablespoons light oil
2 teaspoons salt
5 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1 1/2 cups Maple Valley maple
syrup grade B
2 cups walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and add maple syrup. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes until it builds a froth. When frothy, add oil, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat well. Add dry milk and wheat germ and mix, then add 2 to 3 more cups flour a little at a time. Knead dough for about 10 minutes. Let dough rise until it doubles in size and punch down.
Roll dough to about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thickness and spread butter and sprinkle maple sugar onto dough. Roll dough up like a jelly roll. Slice rolls about 1 inch thick and arrange into 2 (8-inch) round pan that have been prepared as follows:
In each pan, melt about 1 tablespoon butter. Add 3/4 cup grade A (medium) or grade B (dark) maple syrup and 1 cup chopped walnuts. Let the dough rise again until doubled in size. Bake until golden, about 30 minutes.
