Gurkerl Küche

Feine, saftige Zimtsterne nach dem traditionellen Rezept – mit gemahlenen Mandeln, luftigem Eischnee und einer feinen Note von Zitrone und Bourbon-Vanille. Der beliebte Keks-Klassiker für den Advent.

Preparation method

Preparation & Dough

Slit the vanilla pod lengthwise and carefully scrape out the seeds of half a pod with a small spoon.

Thoroughly mix the vanilla seeds and the finely grated lemon zest with the ground almonds and cinnamon in a bowl.

Separate the eggs and place both egg whites into a tall, clean, and grease-free bowl. Beat until stiff using a mixer, gradually trickling in the icing sugar until a glossy, firm meringue forms.

Chef's tip

To prevent the cookie cutter from sticking to the dough while cutting out, briefly dip it into icing sugar or warm water every now and then.

After baking, the cinnamon stars should still be wonderfully soft and moist on the inside. Stored in a tightly sealed biscuit tin with a piece of apple peel, they will remain especially tender and soft.
