Cut the butter into pieces. Mix butter, sugar, rum, cinnamon, cloves, flour and egg first with the dough hook of the hand mixer, then with your hands to a smooth shortcrust pastry. Chill for about 30 minutes. Form the dough into a roll and cut it into about 20 small slices. Form finger-thick rolls from the slices. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 10-12 minutes.
Let them cool down. Coarsely chop the hazelnuts and roast them in a pan without fat until golden brown. Place in a bowl and let cool off.
