Knead all ingredients into a shortcrust pastry and chill.
Roll out the dough thinly with a little flour and cut out stars. Bake on a medium heat of about 150 ° C for about 10 minutes until golden yellow.
Cut open the vanilla pod (or 2 packets of vanilla sugar), mix the scraped pulp with sugar in a bowl. Insert the still hot stars and shake gently. The pastry should be surrounded on all sides with the sugar mixture.
