Recipe 4 diabetics as well


WALNUT SNAILS (for diabetics as well)

 INGREDIENTS
200 grams of dark wheat flour
200 grams of white wheat flour
220 grams of soft margarine for baking
1 egg
100 grams of maple syrup
10 grams of vanilla sugar
150 grams of ground walnuts
½ teaspoon of cinnamon
Grated lemon peel (1 lemon)
 
 
Preparation
 
 
Mix all the ingredients and knead it for about 15 minutes.

Then put dough to rest in refrigerator for one hour. After that turn on oven and preheat it at 180ºC / 356ºF electric oven or 165ºC / 329ºF convection oven.

Meanwhile make some snails (start as you would do walnut croissants and then swirl it). Then put walnut snails on a baking paper and bake it from 15 to 20 minutes.

NOTE!

Maple syrup is very healthy because it contains a lot of antioxidants and more than 50 active/nutritional ingredients, which act against inflammation, prevents development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Walnuts must be rough ground, this makes cookies even more tastier/healthier.
A glass of white wine can greatly complement walnut snails.
