Ingredients

Servings: 18
  • 250 g Flour
  • 1 egg (size M)
  • 375 g Sugar
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 150 g Butter or margarine
  • 350 g Hazelnut kernels with skin
  • 100 g Dark chocolate coating
  • 100 g Whole milk couverture
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Sieve the flour onto the work surface, make a depression in the middle and add the egg. Spread 125 g sugar, vanillin sugar, salt and 125 g fat on the rim and work everything into a smooth dough.

  2. 2

    Cover and put in a cool place for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, roast the nuts in a hot, dry pan for approx. 10 minutes while turning. Place the still hot nuts on a tea towel and rub in the towel until the skin comes off.

  3. 3

    Roll out the dough on a floured work surface and cut out circles (7.5 cm Ø). Place 9 pieces on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven (electric range: 200°C/ gas: level 3) for 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Let thalers cool down on a cake rack. Caramelise the remaining sugar in a pan at low heat until golden. Add remaining fat and melt. Deglaze with 60 ml warm water and simmer until a smooth caramel is formed.

  5. 5

    Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool down for about 4 minutes. In the meantime spread the nuts on the talers and let the caramel run over the nuts with a tablespoon. Leave to dry for about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Melt the couverture in a water bath, let it cool down and warm it up a second time. Oil the grill and place it on a baking tray. Dip the nut thalers with the help of two forks with the dough side into the couverture, let them drip off and put them on the grid.

  7. 7

    Let the chocolate coating dry for about 2 hours.
