Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 250 g Flour
  • 125 g Butter or margarine
  • 75 g Sugar
  • 1 egg (size M)
  • 7-10 Tbsp grated rind of 1/2 untreated lemon
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film
  • baking paper
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1 TABLESPOON Whipped cream
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1 heaped tablespoons of sugar
  • 75 g Peanut purée (without other ingredients)

Directions

  1. 1

    Knead flour, fat, sugar, egg and lemon zest with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Then use your hands to quickly work the dough into a smooth short pastry. Wrap in foil and put in a cool place for about 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Roll out the short pastry thinly on a floured work surface and cut out approx. 50 cookies of approx. 5 cm Ø. Make a hole in half of the biscuits with a small cookie cutter (2 cm Ø).

  3. 3

    Spread on two baking trays lined with baking paper. Whisk the egg yolk and cream and spread the cookies with it. Bake one after the other in a preheated oven (electric: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 12 minutes.

  4. 4

    Let it cool down. Cream egg yolk and sugar and mix with the peanut purée. Spread the peanut cream on the biscuits with a knife, without a hole, and place the short pastry wreaths on top. Makes about 25 pieces.
