Classic & experimental
Children in particular (and many older children too) will of course love the bright colours!!!
Baking time: approx. 5-7 min
Ingredients for approx. 75 biscuits
- 100 g icing sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 4 tbsp water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 100 g ground hazelnuts
- 100 g ground almonds
- 1 tsp grated orange peel
- 100 g spelt flour type 630
- some flour for the work surface
For the glaze:
- 75 g icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- some water
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 230°C fan oven.
All ingredients for the Dough Mix together carefully. Don't be surprised, the dough is very sticky.
Dust the work surface generously with flour and roll out the dough to a thickness of approx. 1 cm. If the dough is very difficult to work with, knead in a little flour as you work.
Use a biscuit cutter to cut out stars and place on a baking tray lined with baking foil. Quickly put the leftover dough back together, roll out and cut out again until all the dough has been used.
Bake the cinnamon stars in the oven for 5-7 minutes, no longer. The stars are still relatively soft when they come out of the oven, but will firm up as they cool. Leave the cinnamon stars to cool on a wire rack.
In the meantime for the Glaze Mix the icing sugar and cinnamon and stir in the lemon juice and just enough water to make a thick mixture. If the icing is too thin, add a little more icing sugar.
Brush the cooled cinnamon stars with the icing and leave to dry.
Tip for more colour:
To make the glaze a little more colourful, as mentioned above, you can use the Magic Blue from PureRaw stir in or for the pink-red colouring this works well. Pretty Pink from PureRaw great 🙂
I haven't tried yellow yet, but it could work with a little turmeric, for example (but only very little, so that the flavour doesn't come out too strong).
The links are unpaid advertising, by the way, because I think PureRaw is just great and I like the colouring foods because they are made entirely from natural ingredients.
Joyeux Noel!
