Whole-wheat peanut fingers

The hubby brought some whole wheat fingers from his favourite bakery, and it got polished off in no time at all. Naturally, I wanted to replicate it at home, and was able to do so by chopping and mixing from a whole bunch of recipes. Definitely a keeper.

Whole wheat flour - 1 cup

Sugar - 1/2 cup

Peanuts (raw) - 1/4 cup

Butter - 1/2 cup

Milk - 2 tblsp (to knead the dough)

Method:

Roast the peanuts, and allow to cool.

Grind the sugar, and when it is almost done, add peanuts and give it a few quick whirls*

Preheat the oven for 5 minutes at 170 degrees.

Mix the flour with butter, add the powdered sugar and peanuts, and knead well. Add milk, if required.

Roll the dough into a thin disc, and cut into long strips.

Place on a greased baking tray, and bake it for 12-15 minutes in the same temperature- keep checking after 10 minutes to ensure the fingers don't get

When done cool it on the wire rack and once it is completely cool, transfer to a air tight container.

* - do not grind too much, because you want the texture of peanuts
