4 egg whites
250 g powdered sugar
300 g almond flour
1 tsp cinnamon
peel of 1/2 lemon, organic
rum flavor to taste
optional: rectangle or round shaped baking wafers (see product below)
– Beat egg white very firm and add slowly powdered sugar; put 1/4 aside for the glaze.
– Mix ground almond, cinnamon and lemon peel with the egg white; you should get a dough that you can roll out.
– Dust some powdered sugar on a baking board, roll the dough and with a star cookie cutter cut out stars. Place the stars on a rectangle or big enough round wafer and cut around the edges with a sharp knife.
– Put the stars on a baking tray laid out with parchment paper or a buttered surface.
– Preheat oven to 140-160 degrees C (320 F)
– Take remaining egg white and add some rum flavor (or if you like real brown rum) until you get a glaze which you spread on top of the stars but not too thick, just a thin layer.
– Bake the stars for 30-40 minutes.
