Cinnamon stars are not only a delicious treat, but also a wonderful decoration for the New Year or Christmas table. These pastries will be a great gift for the winter holidays.
Food preparation
To make cinnamon stars, you will need: 3 cups ground almonds, 1 tbsp. l. ground cinnamon, 1 tsp. lemon zest, 4 chicken eggs, 1/8 tsp. salt, 2.5 cups granulated sugar, 2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Preparation
Mix together ground almonds, ground cinnamon, and lemon zest. Take eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Whisk the egg whites with granulated sugar and salt. Set aside 1/3 of the egg whites for a delicious glaze. Add the rest of the proteins to the almond mixture and mix the dough thoroughly. Roll the almond dough with cinnamon into a 5 mm thick layer, use molds to make stars or other figures out of the dough.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil and cover with parchment paper. Place the almond stars on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake the cookies for 25 minutes. Cool the finished baked goods at room temperature.
Make the frosting. Add lemon juice to egg whites and mix thoroughly. Glaze the finished biscuits and serve. To make the stars look original, add 2 grams of food coloring to the glaze.
The cinnamon stars are ready! Serve them with hot tea or coffee.
