(from Grandma’s cookbook), makes about 50 pieces

For 50 biscuits, sift flour onto a baking board, along with the sugar and vanilla sugar. Add the cubed butter and egg yolks. Quickly knead everything into a dough and chill. Roll out and cut out round biscuits for the bottom half. Do the same for the top half, but with a large hole in the middle – i.e., matching rings! Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake at 170°C (top/bottom heat) until light golden brown (about 8 minutes, but be careful with the rings!). Once cooled, spread the bottom half with jam, place the top half on top, and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
