Ingredients

Servings: 20
  • 250 g Butter
  • 500 g Flour
  • 11/2 parcel Dry baker's yeast
  • 175 g Sugar
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp grated rind of 1 untreated lemon
  • 1/4 l Buttermilk
  • 1 egg (size M)
  • 100 g Almonds with skin
  • 7-10 Tbsp Grease

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt 100 g butter in a pot and let it cool down. Put flour and yeast into a mixing bowl and mix. Add 100 g sugar, vanillin sugar, salt, lemon zest, buttermilk, egg and liquid butter and knead with the dough hooks of the hand mixer for 3-5 minutes to a smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Knead again briefly. Grease the fat pan of the oven (approx. 37x32 cm). Roll out the yeast dough on a slightly floured work surface to the size of the baking tray.

  2. 2

    Cover the baking tray with the dough and let it rise for another 15-20 minutes. Press the remaining butter in flakes into the dough. Bake in the preheated oven (electric: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for 30-35 minutes. In the meantime chop the almonds coarsely. Roast in a pan without fat until golden brown. 10 minutes before the end of the baking time, spread remaining sugar and almonds on the cake. Let it cool down
