Another of my juicing pulp adventure. I have come to realize how tasty the juicing pulp can be, and wonder why nobody did a book on this?! Maybe because juicing is a relatively new thing, or maybe because adding butter or sugar to the diet contravenes the principle of juicing?
I am not sure, I just believe in moderation, so eat everything in moderation.
After thinking through the ingredients I wanted to use for this, I searched through the internet to find no such recipe. So I decided to work out what I think works.
I got some inspirations from the custard butter cookies that I used to bake when I was a child. I really like the wonderful aroma of that Indian snack, so that’s why I shaped it that way initially. However, I soon realize it is not as feasible as using a piping bag, since the juicing pulp makes the batter wetter than the usual Indian custard butter cookies.
So here it is. I think they are great as snacks and as alternatives to your biscuits or butter cookies. These are high in fat and sugar, so still go easy on them!
