Pin Recipe Instructions
- Beat the softened butter with sugar with a mixer. Then add the egg and continue to beat until fluffy.
- Add zest, salt and soda slaked with vinegar to the oil mixture. We mix.
Gradually add flour and knead the dough. - Divide the dough into three equal parts. Add cocoa to one part of the dough.
Each piece of dough is individually wrapped in a bag or cling film and sent to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to cool.
- Roll two flagella approximately 22-25 cm long from one part of the white dough and from the dough with cocoa.
- Roll the remaining white dough into a rectangular layer, the width of which should correspond to the length of the dough flagella.
- Put the dough flagella on top of each other in a checkerboard pattern and wrap them in a rolled layer of white dough. Put the resulting roll in a bag and send it to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, so that it will be easier to cut later.
We turn on the oven and heat up to 180 degrees.
- Then we cut the roll into washers about 1.5-2 cm thick.Put the cookie blanks on a baking sheet covered with parchment and send them to the preheated oven. We bake cookies at 180 degrees for about 12-15 minutes.
- Homemade Battenburg cookies are ready.
Bon Appetit!
