Ingredients

  • 500g strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • ¾ cups verjus
  • ½ cup caster sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, split
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 1 teaspoon pink peppercorns
  • ½ cup water

For the biscuits

  • 50g butter
  • 125g quinoa flakes
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 250g caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoon The Healthy Baker Plain Flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 orange zest
  • pinch salt

Instructions

1

To make the pickled strawberries, pack the strawberries into a large jar.

2

Combine the verjus, sugar, water, vanilla, orange zest and pink peppercorns in a small saucepan.

3

Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally then set mixture aside to cool for 10 minutes. Pour over the strawberries, seal and keep in the fridge for up to one week.

4

For the biscuits, preheat oven to 180C and line two baking trays with paper.

5

Mix the melted butter with the quinoa flakes, sugar and eggs. Sift in the flour, baking powder, zest and salt and gently mix together.

6

Drop small amounts of the mixture (about a teaspoon full) on the baking trays, leaving plenty of space for the mixture to spread and bake for 10 minutes (or until golden).

7

Let cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
