Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 1 pinch salt
- 300 grams sugar
- 2 Tbsps lemon juice
- 2 tsps Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Gingerbread spice
- 350 grams ground almonds (unpeeled)
- Pastry flour (or ground nuts, for the work surface)
Preparation steps
Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Gradually sprinkle in sugar and beat until a smooth meringue has formed then add lemon juice and continue to beat until glossy and stiff. For the glaze, remove 3-4 tablespoons of meringue and refrigerate.
Among remaining meringue, add cinnamon and season to taste with gingerbread spice and ground almonds. Mix to a smooth dough.
For easy rolling sprinkle some flour or ground nuts on a work surface. Roll out dough 6-8 mm (approximately 1/4 inch) thin and cut out stars. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with retained glaze.
Then leave to dry overnight at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 120°C (approximately 250°F).
Place the dried stars in the oven to bake, so that the glaze remains snow-white for about 25 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet and then serve.
