Dough and icing
How it's done
Dough and icing
Beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff. Mix in the icing sugar, cover and chill 6 tbsp (approx. 100 ml) to use as icing. Combine the almonds and cinnamon, add to the remaining egg white mixture along with the Kirsch, mix to form a dough.
To shape
Roll out the dough in batches between a cut-open plastic bag or on a lightly sugared surface to a thickness of approx. 1 cm, loosen with a spatula. Cut out the stars, regularly dipping the cutter in a bowl of sugar. Place the stars on two baking trays lined with baking paper.
To dry
Place a little of the reserved icing in the middle of each star, use a wooden skewer to spread the icing to the tips. Leave to dry at room temperature for approx. 6 hrs. or overnight.
To bake
Approx. 3-5 mins. per tray in the centre of an oven preheated to 240°C. Remove from the oven, transfer the cinnamon stars to a cooling rack with the baking paper and leave to cool.
| Shelf life: | Store in an airtight tin for approx. 2 weeks. |

| Note: | If the dough is too sticky, add some more ground almonds, chill the dough for a few hours before rolling it out. |
