(c) Tobias Schneider-Lenz
Ingredients
- 120 g fine spelt flour
- 120g wholemeal spelt flour
- 120g tempered butter
- 80g icing sugar
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar baking powder
- 1 egg
- Vanilla sugar
- Lemon zest
- 15g gingerbread spice or cinnamon
- a pinch of salt
- Mulled cider jelly
Preparation
Quickly prepare a shortcrust pastry from all the ingredients. Cut out biscuits in desired shapes (e.g. apple, pear, flower, etc.) - half of the biscuits with a hole.
Bake at 180°C in a preheated oven with hot air.
When cool, combine two biscuits with jam and sprinkle with icing sugar.
Variations
- Shape the dough into croissants and decorate as desired after baking.
- The dough is also good for making googly eyes. Form small balls from the dough and make an indentation with the handle of a wooden spoon. Bake and fill with jam or chocolate cream while still warm.
