The warm ingredients for the jam-filled cookies I put together before baking, and turn the oven on 175 - 180 degrees and heat it.
I bake the cookies for 15 minutes on the middle rail. I lay out the baking sheet with baking paper, with a few drops of oil, which are first brushed on the baking sheet, before laying out the baking paper. With the oil, the baking paper keeps better. Then I wipe the kitchen table clean again and make my job clear.
ingredients
- 250 g butter
- 500g flour
- 100 g of butter lard
- 210 g of sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- Abrasion of a 1/2 lemon / untreated
- 1 tbsp cream
preparation
- Making a shortcrust pastry out of all the ingredients: I pile the flour in the middle of the kitchen table, pouring the sugar into it, pouring the liquid lard of butter into the trough we have made into the flour, together with the two yolks and the rubbing off of the Lemon and the tablespoon of cream. Then we knead the dough slowly from outside to inside.
- After kneading, the dough is wrapped in cling film and placed in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, to rest. After 30 minutes I roll out half of the dough 2 cm thick.
- Then the hexagonal cookies (about 30 pieces) are gouged out and placed on the baking sheet, which we previously laid out with baking paper, and pushed into the preheated oven, on the middle rail. Then we bake just as many round rings, which you then later on the smooth cookies works / sets.
- After 15 minutes baking time, the sheet is removed from the oven, let the cookies now cool on a wire rack. When they have cooled down, the hexagonal cookies are immediately spread with the jam (ie on the smooth side) and a round cookie / biscuit ring placed on each. I took blackberry jam that I cooked in the summer, but you can also take currant.
- When all the cookies are ready, they are immediately dusted with powdered sugar. (You get a total of about 68 - 70 pieces.)
Beautifully prepared on a Christmas plate or a plate, you can then put the plate on the coffee table.
Now I wish you much fun baking, it's worth it.
