Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Put almonds in boiling water for about 2 minutes, pour into a sieve, rinse with cold water and peel the skin. Cut the almonds in half with a sharp knife. Separate the eggs. Mix egg white, raw marzipan, 120 g icing sugar and flour to a smooth mixture.

2. 2

   Form approx. 25 balls (2 cm Ø) from the mass, 25 slightly smaller balls. From the remaining mass form 25 cones as caps (cones). Place 2 almond halves as feet on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

3. 3

   Place one of the larger balls as the torso and one smaller ball as the head on top of each, press lightly. Press 2 almond halves as arms against the torso. Place the cones as caps on the baking tray as well.

4. 4

   Whisk the egg yolk and cream. Brush body and caps with it. Bake in the preheated oven (electric range: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on a rack and allow to cool.

5. 5

   Mix 250 g icing sugar, egg white and lemon juice well with the whisk of the hand mixer. Take off 1 teaspoon of icing and colour it blue. Take off almost half of the remaining icing, stir in 1 teaspoon of water and colour it red.

6. 6

   Glue the cap (cone) to the fuselage with a little white cast. Fill red, white and blue cast into a piping bag, cut off one corner each with sharp scissors and decorate the dwarves with it.

7. 7

   Decorate with brown sugar writing as well. Leave to dry.
