Celebrate the flavours of autumn with these delightful chickpea Polvorones – tender, nutty and wonderfully aromatic. Made with chickpea flour, they’re not only full of flavour but also completely gluten-free! The combination of butter, vanilla and pecans makes them the perfect companion to a relaxing afternoon coffee or tea.
Ingredients:
Ingredients (for approx. 24 pieces):
• 226 g soft butter
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 60 g sugar
• 170 g chopped pecans
• 250 g chickpea flour
• 110 g icing sugar for coating
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 175 °C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough: Cream together butter and sugar, then add vanilla. Stir in the pecans and chickpea flour until a smooth dough forms.
- Shape the cookies: Form small balls and place them on the baking tray, leaving some space in between.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden. Let cool briefly.
- Dust with icing sugar and serve.
- These Polvorones taste best once completely cooled – that’s when their delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture truly shines.
