Servings: 40

500 g Marzipan raw mass
650 g Icing sugar
250 g crushed brown almonds
25 g ground cinnamon
190 g Protein
1-2 TEASPOONS Lemon juice
7-10 Tbsp Icing sugar
baking paper

Directions

1
For the dough, grate the marzipan in a bowl. Add 200 g icing sugar, almonds, cinnamon and 90 g egg white. Knead everything with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Dust a work surface with icing sugar and roll out the mixture on it about 6 mm thick.
2
Cut out small (approx. 5 cm Ø) and larger (6-6.5 cm Ø) stars as desired (dip the moulds in icing sugar from time to time so that the dough does not stick) and spread them on 3 baking trays lined with baking paper.
3
Knead the dough again and again and roll it out until it is used up. Sift 400 g icing sugar for the icing. Beat 100 g egg white until stiff and finally stir in icing sugar and lemon juice bit by bit.
4
Thickly coat the stars with icing and bake the trays one after the other in the preheated oven, 2nd rail from below (electric oven: 150-160 °C/ convection oven: 125 °C/ gas: level 1) for about 15 minutes. Let the stars cool down on the baking tray.
5
Only then take it down and pack it into cans.
