Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

  2. Beat butter and honey together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, add eggs and mix well. Mix rice flour, baking powder, and cardamom into creamed butter mixture until dough is just mixed. Roll dough into small balls, about 1 heaping teaspoon each.

  3. Pour hemp seeds into a bowl and press each dough ball into the seeds, coating half of each ball. Transfer dough balls to the baking sheet, gently pressing to 1/4-inch thickness.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 20 minutes.

Recipe Note

In Ancient temples, they offered 'Honey Cakes' to the goddess. I Imagine that they were something like this! I adapted the rice flour for modern tastes, although you can try barley flour if you wish. Gluten-free! Sugar-free!
