Hello, I decided to share with you my grandmother's recipe for this perfect recipe.
Biscuits wrapped in hazelnuts, in which you can put chocolate in the middle, you can also roll them in it. They are very simple and easy to make, the dough is shaped into balls with your hands and rolled. They are ready in an hour, they are especially good if you miss something small with your cookies to snack on.
Ingredients:
350 g of soft flour
150 g of crystal sugar
1 vanilla sugar
200 g of margarine
2 egg yolks
1 whole egg
2 tablespoons rum, milk or lemon juice
lemon or orange zest
The second part in which the balls are dipped:
2 egg whites
150 g ground hazelnuts (in my case blended)
Preparation:
Margarine must be softened, room temperature to blend nicely.
Add flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, finely grated crust, eggs, yolks and I added milk because I didn't want rum because of the children, we don't like lemon, so milk is an option.
Knead the dough from the listed ingredients.
At first it is so dry, but slowly as you knead the margarine will release and it will mix nicely (so as not to scare you that it is dry, so add more liquid)
Tear off small pieces and roll between your palms balls slightly larger than the size of a hazelnut.
Put those two egg whites (do not stir) in one small bowl and ground hazelnuts in the other.
Put the balls in a bowl, as far as they can fit, then transfer to a bowl with hazelnuts and roll them.
Hazelnuts are very sticky to the fingers, so it would be best to take the balls out of the hazelnuts with a spoon and then roll them a little by hand.
Do not run your fingers over the egg whites.
While doing this, the oven is heated to 180 degrees.
Arrange the balls in a greased pan and bake for 20 minutes.
While the first round is baking prepare the second.
From this measure, I got almost two full pans from the oven balls.
When the biscuits are baked cool them and eat them!
