Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 100 g Flour
  • 45 g Icing sugar
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp grated peel of 1/2 untreated orange
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 Egg yolk (size M)
  • 60 g Butter or margarine
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • baking paper
  • 120 g Hazelnuts
  • 150 g Butter or margarine
  • 350 g firm nut nougat
  • 7-10 Tbsp masse
  • 7-10 Tbsp grated peel of 1 untreated orange
  • 2 packages (150 g each) Whole milk couverture

Directions

  1. 1

    Put flour, icing sugar, vanillin sugar, orange peel and salt in a bowl. Add egg yolk and fat in small flakes. Work well with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. With cool hands quickly knead to a smooth dough.

  2. 2

    Cover and refrigerate for 1/2 hour. Roll out the dough 2 mm thin on a lightly floured work surface. Cut out circles (5 cm Ø). Cut another circle (2.5 cm Ø) from the middle of the circles.

  3. 3

    Place the resulting dough rings on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Knead the dough remains together and process as described above. Bake in a preheated oven (electric oven: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for 7-10 minutes until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Let the cookies cool down on a cake rack. To decorate, roast hazelnuts in a dry pan until brown. Put them in a sieve and rub off the brown skin. Coarsely chop the hazelnuts. Cream the fat, nougat and orange peel with the whisk of the hand mixer.

  5. 5

    Pour into a piping bag with a perforated spout and spray in a circle onto the short pastry rings. Sprinkle with hazelnuts and press on a little. Place the cookies in the freezer for 15 minutes. Melt the chocolate coating in a hot water bath.

  6. 6

    Dip the rings briefly into the chocolate coating, drain them a little and let them dry on a cake rack. Results in about 50 pieces.
