1 egg (size M)
1 package Vanillin sugar
7-10 Tbsp grated peel of 1/2 untreated orange

Directions

1
Beat the fat and 200 g nougat mixture with the whisk of the hand mixer until foamy. Stir in egg, vanilla sugar, orange peel and salt. Mix flour and baking powder and knead into the fat nougat mass. Chill the dough for about 2 hours, quarter it and form a roll (approx. 2.5 cm Ø) from each quarter. Refrigerate the rolls again for about 1 hour. Cut the rolls into approx. 1/2 cm thick slices, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake them one after the other in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175°C/ gas: level 2) for 12-15 minutes.

Put the nougat buttons on a cake rack and let them cool down. Warm up the rest of the nougat mixture in a hot water bath. Melt the chocolate coating in a hot water bath. Dip half of the nougat buttons halfway into the nougat mass and let them dry on a cake rack. Dip half of the remaining nougat buttons into the couverture and let them dry on a cake rack as well
