Tobacco rolls

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 500 g butter
• 125 g sugar

• 1 pinch of baking powder
• some schnapps
• 1 kg clarified butter for frying
• 500 g sugar
• 3 tbsp cinnamon, ground

Instructions

Working time approx. 2 hours; Total time approx. 2 hours

completely nicotine-free – a specialty from Franconia – made with a special rolling iron

Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Gradually add the eggs and heavy cream. Mix the flour with the baking powder and stir in, or rather, knead, along with the schnapps. Shape the dough into a ball, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Measure the circumference and length from the rolling pin. Using these measurements, cut a rectangular template out of cardboard. Roll out the dough in portions, place the template on top, and cut out. Place the dough around the rolling pin. Wrap the string attached to the rolling pin at approximately 1 cm intervals around the roll and fry in the oil until golden brown. After baking, unwind the string, carefully remove the pastry roll, and immediately roll it in the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Once cooled, place the rolls in a tin and, provided they are not eaten beforehand, they will keep for at least 4 weeks. If the threads on the rolling pin need to be replaced, make sure to use only cotton thread. Otherwise the thread will melt in the hot fat.
