Cream the butter, sugar, and spices until fluffy. Then stir in the egg and egg yolk, and finally knead in the flour and baking powder (the dough may be a bit soft). Form the dough into a flat disc, wrap it in foil, and chill for about 30 minutes. Then pinch off approximately 18 g pieces, form a sausage about 14 cm long and evenly thick, and roll it in the flaked almonds. Do not use flour for rolling, just the almonds. Shape the strands into an “S” shape and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at approximately 180°C (fan oven) for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
