Beat eggs and sugar until frothy. Do not save on time. Mix the other ingredients and stir into the foam mixture. The almonds can also be partially replaced by hazelnuts. A bit of bitter almond flavor to the dough also tastes good.
Let the dough rest for approx. 30 minutes and then form strands of dough approx. 2-3 cm in diameter with wet hands and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Leave at least 5 cm of space in between. Bake light brown over medium heat and immediately cut diagonally into approx. 1 cm thick strips. Place the strips on the tray with the cut side down and bake again until they start to brown around the edges.
