Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 250 flour

  • 150 butter, cold
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 packet of vanilla sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 3 egg yolks
  • n. B. jam, (raspberry jam)
  • 300 nuts (pecans), chopped
  • 3 egg whites

Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Rest time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

Knead all ingredients, except for the egg yolk, into a dough. Chill for about 30 minutes. Then roll the dough into about 40 cherry-sized balls. Roll the balls first in egg white and then in the chopped pecans. Spread the balls generously on two baking sheets lined with baking paper and use the handle of a wooden spoon to make a small indentation in each ball. Place 3-4 teaspoons of raspberry jam into a freezer bag and cut off a small corner. Squeeze a dollop of jam into each indentation. Bake at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 15 minutes.
