Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 300 g powdered sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 350 g ground almonds or hazelnuts
- A little grated lemon zest
Directions
Whip the egg whites until creamy.
Sift in powdered sugar, and mix into egg whites.
Set aside almost a third of the resulting mass for casting.
Stir in the remaining mass of cinnamon and almonds, or hazelnuts and lemon zest, and knead into a dough.
Roll out the dough, cut out star shapes and place on the greased baking sheet.
Mix the remaining stiff egg white with rum until a glaze mass forms.
Brush the cinnamon stars with glaze.
Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for about 20 minutes.
