Scary Fingers






Snacks for the haunted house at school. I decided, to make something as natural as possible. I do not use any food color. The fingers had to get an additional manicure since their school is peanut & nut free. I removed the fingernails after baking and added melted chocolate.

Ingredients:

180 g Spelt
70 g Kamut
250 g Unbleached Flour
1 Egg (not necessary, I left it out)
100 g Butter or Coconut Oil
40 g Honey

250 g Milk ( Dairy, Rice or Nut)
20 g Fresh Yeast
5 g Salt

1 tsp Spirulina Powder
1 tsp Cacoa Powder

soaked almonds, peeled and separated with knife

Method:

  • Grind spelt and kamut 1 min 30 sec on speed 10
  • Add other ingredients except spirulina and cocoa and knead 2 min 30 sec on Intervall speed
  • Divide the dough in 3 equal parts
  • Place one part with the sprulina back in the bowl and knead another 1 min 30 sec on Intervall speed
  • Do the same with the cacao
  • Preheat the oven to 170*C / 350*F
  • Form skinny fingers with the dough, place on baking sheet
  • Cut knuckle marks into the finger and press half a almond at the tips
  • Bake for 12 min or until done

To melt the chocolate: Place chocolate in a cup to fit in the steamer basket with a little coconut oil and melt 5 min on speed 2-3 at Varoma with 500ml water in the bowl
