  • 250 g flour
  • 180 g sugar

  • 2 tbsp vanilla sugar

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

Pour hot water over the almonds and peel them (preferably the day before). Mix all ingredients together to make a dough. Add the almonds last. Form the dough into a ball and chill for 60 minutes. Divide the dough into six equal pieces and shape them into approximately 25cm long rolls. Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 10-15 minutes. Cut the pre-baked rolls into approximately 1cm thick slices. Place these slices (on the cut side) in the oven again at 200°C (400°F) for another 8-10 minutes. The cantuccini are ready! A lovely Christmas gift.
