Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 100 g butter, soft
  • 100 g cane sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 lemon(s), zest
  • 2 eggs
  • 200 g wheat flour (wholemeal)
  • 50 g cornstarch
  • ½ pack of baking powder
  • 4 tbsp cream or milk
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

For 10 pieces

Mix the butter, brown sugar, salt, and lemon zest thoroughly. Add the eggs. Stir in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and a little cream or milk. Mix 1/4 of the batter with the cocoa powder. First, place 10 heaps of the light-colored batter on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Then place a small dollop of the dark-colored batter on top. Bake at 200°C for about 30 minutes. Tip: I also add a little cinnamon and clove powder to the batter for a more Christmassy flavor.
