Cream fat, sugar and vanillin sugar. Gradually add eggs and spices. Mix flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Sieve onto the fat-egg mixture and stir in. Pour the dough into a greased lamb baking tin.
Place upside down on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven (electric: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) upside down for about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes. Then remove from the tin and let it cool down.
Halve the almonds. Stir 100 g icing sugar with as much lemon juice until a viscous mixture is formed. Spread the lamb and almond with it, leave out the head part. Immediately sprinkle with grated coconut and remaining icing sugar.
Coat the almond halves on the back with the powdered sugar mixture and stick them to the head as ears. Chop the pistachio roughly and use two suitable pieces as eyes. Results in about 8 pieces.
