Ingredients

Servings: 28
  • 3 discs (à 75 g) deep-frozen puff pastry
  • 150 g Marzipan raw mass
  • 25 g Icing sugar
  • 2-3 TABLESPOONS Orange marmalade
  • 7-10 Tbsp Icing sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp Sugar
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Place puff pastry slices next to each other on a floured work surface and allow to thaw. In the meantime knead marzipan and icing sugar. Place the puff pastry slices on top of each other and roll out into a rectangle (25 x 30 cm). Roll out the marzipan into a rectangle (approx. 23 x 29 cm) on a work surface sprinkled with icing sugar. Warm up the orange marmalade a bit, stir until smooth and put 1 teaspoon aside. Spread the puff pastry with the remaining jam and cover with the marzipan plate. Fold both long sides towards the middle, leaving about 0.5 cm free, then spread with 1 tsp.

  2. 2

    jam. Fold in the long sides to the middle again, then fold over each other. Cut into 28 slices. Press them flat a little bit, sprinkle with sugar and put them on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper. Place a baking tray on the bottom of the oven, otherwise the pig's ears will darken very quickly from underneath. Bake the trays one after the other in the preheated oven on the middle shelf (electric oven: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on a cake rack
