Cooking method

Since the beginning of November, German housewives have devoted every free moment to preparing for Christmas. They should take care of both sweet gifts and enough sweet cookies - pletskhen - for every Advent! Advent is the waiting time for Christmas. It lasts 4 weeks and every Sunday a new candle is lit on the Christmas wreath at the dining table. This is the time for meetings with family and friends. When 4 candles are lit, it is Christmas time and the whole big family gathers! Today is the 3rd Advent. We are still baking cookies, some of which are sent for storage in metal boxes.
I bring to your attention several types of simple homemade cookies that even beginners in the kitchen can handle.
Today we are preparing the popular "Wasp's Nest" cookies. I cooked from a book, but on the Internet it is also mega popular and with the same proportions: 🔗
1. Sift flour and add a pinch of baking powder.
2. Add yolk (in the middle) and softened butter flakes (in a circle)
3. Sprinkle with sugar and vanilla sugar.
4. Knead a homogeneous dough with your hands, kneading from the edges to the center. At first the dough will be dry and you may feel like you need liquid ... resist the temptation to add it! The dough is kneaded on the same amount of fat, cat. added to it, just dial 5-6 minutes. terpenium and knead until smooth. Here's what you should get. The dough must be wrapped in cling film and sent to the cold-to-min. for 1 hour!
5. So as not to suffer later with the formation of the cooled dough, I roll it to the required diameter directly in cling film and send the finished "rolling pin" of the dough to the refrigerator (see under the book).
7. Cut the cooled dough into slices 1-1.5 cm thick
8. Filling.
Mix the crushed, peeled nuts with honey.
I use almonds, but hazelnuts or other will do.
If there is no ready-made pure almonds: scald the unpeeled grains with boiling water and rinse with cold water, squeeze out with your fingers, the midal will easily slip out of the husk.
9. In the dough, make grooves in the middle, supporting the edges of the cookies with your hands. I have adapted a "spinner" for honey for depressions, but you can do it with pom. bottle caps.
10. Fill the grooves with the nut-honey filling using 2 small. spoons.
11. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 * C for approx. 15 minutes. (until cookies are slightly blush), remove the sheet with cookies from the baking sheet, let it cool slightly, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
12. From this quantity, I got 22 pieces. medium size.
Help yourself! Bon Appetit!
