UROMAS VANILLA KIPFERL

Ingredients

250 g    flour

210 g    butter

100 g    almond(s), ground

80 g       sugar

2 pck.    vanilla sugar

1 pck.    icing sugar, for turning

2 pck.    vanilla sugar, for turning     

 

Preparation

Knead the ingredients for the dough well together. Then place wrapped in foil in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

In the meantime, sieve the icing sugar into a large, closable bowl and mix with two packets of vanilla sugar. The closable bowl is so important because you may be able to reuse leftovers for the next serving of vanilla kipferl.

Form the kipferlteig into rolls with an approximate diameter of 4 cm. Then cut into slices about 1 - 2 cm thick. Form the Kipferl from these slices and do not place them too close to each other on a tray covered with baking paper. Bake in a convection oven at 175 °C for about 10-15 minutes. When the kipferl begin to tan, they are good.

Let the Kipferl cool for about 3 minutes. Then place in the prepared icing sugar mixture and turn from all sides in it. If they are still too warm now, they break very easily; if they are too cold, the icing sugar no longer adheres well. It is best to try again and again whether they are already firm enough.
