My youngest son wanted to do baking and he had such fun making these different sized honey cinnamon stars biscuits. The star cutters he was using come in a range of different sizes – so we ended up with a beautiful honey cinnamon sky of stars to choose from. The honey cinnamon stars biscuits are made with almond meal, coconut oil, egg, honey and spices. They are easy and fun to make for kids and adults and are healthy, gluten and dairy free.
These delicious stars are a very welcoming treat for visitors to serve with an aperitif such as my apricot pickle whiskey sour. We used the urban beehive raw Sydney honey which has an amazing flavour, that works so well with cinnamon. The urban beehive raw Sydney honey sources honey from Sydney rooftops, backyards and community gardens which is then cold extracted, lightly filtered and bottled.
The special flavour of this raw honey really complements the apricot, honey and spices in the cocktail. The apricot pickle was made with orange peel, cardamom, cinnamon and pepper. The apricot pickle whiskey sour cocktail uses the pickle, pickle brine, honey whiskey and apricot brandy, lemon balm and pickled cherry.
The honey cinnamon stars biscuits are also beautiful with a cup of tea or coffee or a glass of milk or as a healthy snack on their own.
