Directions

  1. 1

    Knead the flour, 100 g sugar, butter in pieces and egg first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then quickly with your hands until smooth. Form into 2 rolls (each approx. 5 cm Ø), wrap in foil and chill for approx. 30 minutes.

    Preheat the oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: level 2). Line 2 trays with baking paper. Cut dough rolls into slices (3-5 mm) and place them on the trays. Bake in a hot oven for approx. 18 minutes.

    Let it cool down.

    Briefly roast the nuts in a pan without fat, remove them. Caramelise 200 g sugar in the pan until golden. Add cream and simmer while stirring until the caramel has dissolved and is soft.

  5. 5

    Fold in the nuts. Quickly spread nuts with toffee mixture on the biscuits. If the mixture becomes too firm, carefully reheat it. Let it set.
