Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Finely grind 50 g nuts in the electric universal chopper. Finely chop the rest of the nuts, up to 12 halves. Distribute on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

2. 2

   Roast in a hot oven for about 8 minutes.

3. 3

   For the dough, add the ground nuts, 160 g flour, 60 g sugar, 1 pinch of salt, egg yolk and 125 g butter in pieces, first using the dough hooks of the mixer, then knead quickly with your hands to form a dough. Shape into a flat brick.

4. 4

   Preheat oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Roll out the dough onto some flour to a thickness of approx. 5 mm. Cut out 12 stars (approx. 8 cm each), kneading, rolling out and cutting out dough remains again and again.

5. 5

   Turn over the muffin tray. Grease every second tray offset from the outside, place stars on top and press the prongs down slightly. Bake in a hot oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove. Carefully remove lukewarm from the trays and let them cool down.

6. 6

   For the filling, simmer cream, 10 g butter, honey and 25 g sugar for about 3 minutes. Add chopped nuts, bring to the boil again, remove from the heat. Chop the apricots very finely. Stir into the lukewarm nut mixture.

7. 7

   Spread the filling into the star-shaped bowls. Decorate with the rest of the nut halves. Amarena ice cream tastes good with it.
