Ingredients for 5

4 baking trays (?)
250 g butter or margarine
125 g powdered sugar
1 egg white or some water (no water with spelt flour)
1 pinch salt
2 tsp vanilla sugar
350 g flour

Filling

0.5 jar red currant jelly

Preparation

  1. Stir the butter/margarine until smooth. Add the sugar, stir until foamy.
  2. Add the other ingredients and quickly form a dough. Refrigarate.
  3. Roll out 3 mm thick and cut out round shapes, one half with a star or heart shaped hole in it.
  4. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven at 200 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until only slighly brown.
  5. While they are still hot, coat one side with the jelly and cover with a second piece.

Tip

  • Do not prepare with frozen butter, it will not become as solid as it should.
  • 2024 we made for 5 people (250 g butter) and it was almost a good amount.
  • 2025 we made the same amount (even though Meli was not here).
