while better, it is still too hot to bake

...and the only fikabröd (baked good or similar to serve with tea/coffee during fika) in the freezer is this week's Freezer Cookies, which I can't serve when David's brother Gustaf, and his wife Jenny arrive later this afternoon, as she is allergic to nuts.

Therefore today's non-baking adventure is:

Cinnamon Rosehip Oat Balls

1/2 c butter
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c rosehip powder
1 T cinnamon powder
1/4 t ginger powder
1/8 t grains of paradise powder
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 c boiling water

Cream together the butter, sugar, and powders. Blend in the oats. Add just enough boiling water to get it to mostly hold together when pressed. Roll 1 tablespoon at a time into balls. Chill.

**************

Note: this time I was too lazy to open a new pack of regular rolled oats, so I used the "fiber oats" that was already opened. I think that the regular rolled oats would probably have held together better. These took a fair bit of pressure to get them to roll properly.
