Ingredients
  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 6 tablespoons of panela
  • 90 g. very cold butter, diced
  • 1 egg L
  • ½ cup of grated carrot
  • Some chocolate chips
Preparation
  1. We preheat the oven to 220 ° C and line a tray with parchment paper or a silicone sheet.
  2. In a bowl we sift the flour and we mix it with the baking powder, the salt, the cinnamon, the nutmeg, the ginger and the brown sugar.
  3. Now, add the butter to the bowl and either with the help of a stirrup or by pinching the mixture with the tips of the fingers, we mix all the ingredients until we get a sandy mixture. Don't knead, just pinch, so the temperature of the mixture doesn't rise.
  4. We now add the chocolate chips and mix lightly.
  5. In conclusion, we mix the egg with the grated carrot in a bowl and add them to the dough. Mix until the dry ingredients have absorbed the moisture. Do not knead, the dough should be lumpy and brittle.
  6. We put the dough on a floured surface, sprinkle a little flour over it and with our hands we press to give it a disk shape about 18-20 centimeters in diameter.
  7. With a knife we cut the dough into 8 triangles and we transfer these to the baking tray.
  8. Bake 16 minutes or until they start to brown. Once browned, remove from the oven and place them on a rack to finish cooling.
