Finely grind the almonds with the drum grater. Since I don`t like to bite on lemon peel, I also spin it through the drum grater.
Knead all the ingredients one after the other. The dough is very dry. That`s why I lightly moistened my hands with water 3 times and kneaded it nicely. Roll out the dough and cut out with shapes as desired. Bake for 12-15 minutes. I have gas, i.e. at 160 degrees. Electric oven approx. 180-195 degrees.
The cookies are very crispy and crispy, I like them.
I found the recipe Helgoländer Schnitten as a handwritten note in a baking book. I bought it at a flea market. Now I was curious what these Heligoland slices were all about and I baked them again.
