Alfajor de Miel con Nueces y Especias
- 2 cups honey
- 1 1/4 cups ground almonds
- 1 1/4 cups ground hazelnuts
- 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground canela
- Pinch of ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted coriander seeds, ground
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted aniseed, ground
- 16 to 20 rice wafers
- Heat the honey in a medium pot over low heat until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of the almonds, 1 cup of the hazelnuts, and the bread crumbs and stir to combine.
- Once the mixture starts coming together, add the sesame seeds, canela, cloves, coriander, and aniseed and stir for a couple of minutes until well blended.
- Pour into a bowl and let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Put a bit of the mixture on top of a rice wafer, spreading it around evenly, and press with your hands to about 1/4-inch thickness (you can dampen your hands slightly if the mixture is too sticky).
- Sprinkle some of the remaining 1/4 cup almonds and remaining 1/4 cup hazelnuts on top, pressing lightly, then put another wafer on top and press so it sticks.
- These are best eaten a day or two later.
- You can store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry area.
- Serve whole or cut into quarters.
