INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Half tsp baking powder

  • Half tsp garlic powder
  • 1 large egg
  • Half tsp paprika
  • 12 whole almonds (halved lengthwise)
  • Quarter tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp softened light butter
  • Quarter tsp salt

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:

  • It provides the main structure for the witch fingers and keeps the shape well when baking. You can also use whole-wheat pastry flour.

NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:

  • This yogurt provides moisture and holds the dough together. It softens the dough and makes it easier to mold into fingers. If necessary, you can use unsweetened vegan yogurt instead.

ALMONDS:

  • Add them to create the fingernail look and enjoy a satisfying crunch. Sunflower seeds can be used instead of almonds to make a nut-free version. You could also use little chunks of red bell pepper instead.

LIGHT BUTTER:

  • Butter adds flavor and creates the crispy texture of this recipe. If you aren’t using butter, use a lighter buttery spread.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, cover the tray with a baking sheet and warm the oven to 180°C.
  2. Mix flour, baking powder, black pepper, paprika, salt, & garlic powder in the bowl.
  3. Then add softened butter, egg, and Greek yogurt to make the dough.
  4. Make 24 equal portions of the dough and roll them to make finger shapes with one wider end.
  5. Cut three shallow lines to give a knuckle look and press half an almond into the tip of the fingers.
  6. Put the fingers on the tray with some space in between and bake them for 18 minutes.
  7. Lastly, cool the fingers slightly in the tray and serve them with a light dip.
