Shortbread dough using buckwheat flour and vegetable oil

This option is suitable not only for vegans and fasting, but, because the dough composition can be varied, adapting it to their preferences. The main thing – to observe the basic proportions.

Thus, the ingredients (enough for 3 cake thickness of 0.5 cm for the mould 26 cm in diameter):

• 300 g of flour. Variations: it’s either the flour from green buckwheat, or 2/3 quinoa flour + 1/3 oat flour or half buckwheat flour and whole wheat/spelt.

• 2 eggs, or 2 “flax eggs” (2 tbsp flax seed to grind into flour + 5-6 tbsp of water, stir, leave for a few minutes until thickening).

• 70-90 g of nuts or coconut flakes (you can use your favorite nuts or those that are more suited to the dish, which you cook).

• 60-70 g of vegetable oil (I olive),

• 0.5 tsp. salt,

• Sweetener if you make the dough for sweet pastries – to taste.

• Water/any dairy product like kefir or yogurt – a few tablespoons if necessary to bring dough to the desired consistency.

How to do:

1. Mix all dry ingredients, add all wet ingredients (except water). Stir until smooth, if the dough will seem dry, add 1 tablespoon of water. The dough should turn into a homogeneous moist crumb, which can be collected at kom.

2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and allow to soak in the refrigerator for a couple hours, at least at least 30 minutes. Actually you can just to cook from it, it just is not as supple as the fridge.

Because this dough I mostly use for making quiche Lorraine, I just divide the whole mass into 3 parts. 2 servings of freeze, and from 1 serving, make cake.
