Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Preparation: You should take the ingredients out of the refrigerator beforehand so that they have reached room temperature when baked. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Drain the cherries in a sieve.

2. 2

   Put the flour, ground almonds, sugar, softened butter and egg yolk into a mixing bowl and mix everything with the mixer until a bound mass / ball of dough is formed.

3. 3

   Gladly knead the dough with your hands and put it in the fridge. Do not put the dough as a ball but as a flat form for cooling. This makes it easier to roll out afterwards. You can also prepare the dough the day before. A long waiting period until the dough is ready prevents the dough from breaking when you cut it out.

4. 4

   Before you want to process the dough, you should bind the cherries. You can put the cherry brandy in a pot for this purpose. Mix a small amount of the liquid in a glass with the pudding powder so that the powder dissolves. Heat the pot and add the liquid from the glass. Bring everything to the boil once and remove from the heat. Then add the cherries to the bound cherry brandy.

5. 5

   Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out to a 0.25 cm thick surface on a floured tray or between baking paper.

6. 6

   Cut out round circles using a cookie cutter or a glass.

7. 7

   Place the bound cherries in the middle of every second circle. Leave a generous margin so that the filling does not run out of the biscuits later.

8. 8

   Place a second circle on the dough topped with cherries and carefully press them together at the edges with a fork.

9. 9

   Place the biscuits on a baking tray and bake in the oven at 180 °C for 12 minutes until golden.
