Instructions

  1. Cream 350g butter and 180g sugar together for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 egg yolks until combined. Sift together 500g flour, 1 packet vanilla sugar, 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon powder, and 1 pinch nutmeg. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the butter mixture along with some rum aroma and some grated lemon peel. Knead until a smooth dough forms. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
  2. Roll out the dough very thin (approximately 2-3mm thick) and cut out star shapes.
  3. Place the star shapes on a baking sheet. Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 5 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness, until lightly golden.
  4. While still hot, carefully roll the warm stars in cinnamon sugar to coat completely. Handle gently as they break easily when hot.
