Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 3/4 cup (150g) raw Romanesco ( (or cauliflower))
  • 1/2 cup (100g) butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350F / 180C. Line a baking tray with parchment.
  • Finely grate the Romanesco or whiz it in a food processor until it resembles fine crumbs. Heat it in the microwave, or in a dry pan on the stove, for 2 minutes to dry it out slightly. Allow to cool.
  • Cream the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Add the lemon zest and juice and mix well.
  • Stir in the romanesco, oats, flour and ground cardamom and combine.
  • Roll the batter into balls, place on the prepared baking tray and press down lightly with a fork.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly on the tray and then cool completely on a wire rack.
