Cream the soft butter (margarine) with the icing sugar, egg yolk, salt and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Stir in the lemon juice. Slowly stir the flour into the foam. Line a baking tray with baking paper or grease it with butter (margarine). Fill a piping bag with the batter and carefully pipe the croissants onto the baking tray (not too close together). Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (gas mark 2-3) for approx. 10-15 minutes, depending on the size, until golden brown. Allow the croissants to cool. Spread one croissant with jam and place a second one on top. Dip both ends of the croissant in the chocolate glaze. Of course, other jams can also be used for the Linzer croissants, e.g. strawberry jam.
