Introduction

These probably won’t look fully baked, even if they’re ready to be pulled out of the oven. They’ll look puffed, but still very pale with only a hint of golden at the edges. But, once you pull them out and they start to cool, they’ll get the cracked top to them.

Ingredients

    1 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 cup butter or margarine
    1 tbsp canola oil (if you have coconut oil, by all means use it for flavour)
    1 tbsp lime zest
    1 tsp cornstarch
    2 tbsp water
    2 tbsp lime juice
    1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/4 tsp salt
    Coarse sugar, for topping (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Cream the sugar, butter, oil and lime zest until light and fluffy.
Mix cornstarch, water and lime juice in a small bowl, add to the creamed mixture and beat well.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt.
Add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir together well.
Flatten each slightly and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for eight minutes, then cool 2 minutes on sheets before cooling completely on a wire rack.
