Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 40 minutes

Beat the softened butter with the melted, but no longer hot, nougat until smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla bean paste, egg, and rum and beat until fluffy. Sift in the flour mixed with the baking powder and knead in. Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Roll out the dough on a floured surface or on a silicone mat to a thickness of about 3 mm and cut out stars. Place these on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for about 8-10 minutes. Once the stars have cooled, spread the redcurrant jelly on half of the stars. Place the remaining stars on top and press down lightly. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
