Thanks, Sandra! The tea cookies sell out some weeks, some weeks the Golden Cakes do - it just depends on the crowd. Chufa flour is also called Tiger Nut flour, but I dislike that name, because it is not a nut, and has nothing to do with tigers, either. It's a sedge that was a staple of ancient Egyptian culture. Densely nutritious, and yummy. The recipe is one I created when Kermit - who is Egyptian - described the tea cakes his grandmother used to make. They keep pretty well, and freeze well, too.

And yes, I love working with clay, used to when I was a kid, so getting back to it in Vermont has been wonderful.
