So wird’s gemacht
- Knead the flour, diced butter, lard, sugar, salt, lemon zest and egg with your hands into a smooth dough.
- Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 175 °C conventional heat. Line the trays with baking paper.
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon in the small bowl.
- Roll walnut-sized balls from the dough and roll them all over in the cinnamon sugar.
- Put them on the tray with plenty of space and press them flat with the bottom of the glass.
