En af fordelene ved at have fødemiddel-intolerance er, at man bliver tvunget til at udforske nye råvarer. Da vi har problemer med hvede her i huset, har det betydet en stor interesse for andre former for mel - rismel, majsmel, speltmel, rugmel, havremel, og boghvedemel for eksempel. Her kommer det til at handle om boghveden, som ikke er en kornsort sådan som de andre er, men et frø fra en asiatisk plante der har været dyrket i årtusinder. Boghvede indeholder protein af høj kvalitet, flere essentielle aminosyrer, mineraler og sporstoffer. Samtidig er det skånekost for maven og de ristede hele frø, som ligner småbitte bog, er rigtig gode i grød. Men man kan også få boghveden malet, og sådan bruges den traditionelt i Bretagne til de lækreste galettes og i Japan til sobanudler.
Boghveden smager dejligt nøddeagtigt og der er intet gluten i frøene, og det er de to ting der interesserer mig mest ved den. Jeg brugte boghvedemelet til at lave en portion påske-muffins. Dejen kan også bages i en sandkageform eller et lille tærtefad, så skal den bare have 45-60 minutter i ovnen. Jeg brugte fåremælksyoghurt til opskriften i dag, men skal den være helt mælkefri kan du bruge en god mælkefri margarine i stedet.
Opskrift:
130 g boghvedemel
4 tsk bagepulver
250 g fåremælksyoghurt (eller 110 g mælkefri margarine)
120 g flydende honning (brug én med masser af smag)
revet skal af 1 øko-citron
4 æg
glasur:
1½ dl flormelis
4 tsk gul frugtfarve (eller brug safran)
4 tsk citronsaft
Tænd ovnen på 175°
Sigt mel og bagepulver sammen i en skål.
Rør yoghurt, honning og citronskal i. Hvis du bruger margarine skal den smeltes og afkøles først.
Pisk æggene i ét ad gangen.
Kom papirsforme i en muffinbakke med plads til 12 muffins, og hæld cirka ¾ dl dej i hver form.
Bag midt i ovnen i 30 minutter, eller til kagerne er gennembagt i midten.
Lad køle af på en rist.
Rør glasuren sammen i en lille skål og pynt kagerne.
Velbekomme!
The English Corner
One advantage of having foodstuff intolerance in the household, is that you are more likely to search out new products and experiment with them. Since we have trouble with wheat in this household, I've looked into other flours we could use - rye, oat, rice, maize and buckwheat for instance. Buckwheat is not a corn, as the rest of them are, but a seed of the Asian plant Fagopyrum esculentum which has been cultivated for food for millenia. The seeds have a nutty flavour, contain high quality protein, essential amino acids and a number of minerals, and are gluten free. The flavour and lack of gluten are what interest me the most. Buckwheat flour is traditionally used for making Breton galettes and Japanese soba noodles. I used mine for some nice Easter muffins.
You can bake this as one cake instead of muffins, if you prefer. Use a small, well greased pound cake or tarte tin, and allow the cake to bake for 45-60 minutes.
Recipe:
130 g buckwheat flour
4 tsp baking powder
250 g sheeps milk yoghurt (or 110 g dairyfree margarine)
120 g liquid honey (use one with lots of flavour)
grated rind of 1 organic lemon
4 eggs
icing:
150 ml icing sugar
4 tsp yellow food colouring (or use saffron)
4 tsk lemon juice
Heat the oven to 170° C
Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl.
Add yoghurt, honey and lemon rind and mix well. If you use margarine you should melt it in a saucepan and allow to cool slightly first.
Beat the eggs into the mixture one at a time.
Place paper muffin cups in a 12 piece muffin tin, and pour approximately 75 ml batter into each cup.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes, or until the muffins are baked through.
Allow to cool on a rack.
Mix the icing together in a small bowl and decorate the tops of the muffins.
Bon appétit!

Miri from LJ here, I added you to my google reader <3
SvarSletThanks for the recipe - sounds really nice, though I don't think I've ever seen buckwheat flour here... my family use the groats for 'porridge' like rice or bulgur, it goes great with stewed beef with a lot of gravy. Yum.
Hello Miri, good to see you here :)
SvarSletBuckwheat flour is quite readily available at larger supermarkets here, but you might try a health-food store, or any store selling organic products, with more success? The bulgur-style use seems to be common to both Russia and several Eastern European countries - I haven't tried it that way yet myself, but buckwheat has a really nice taste so I'm sure it's good!
