Berlinerkranser (Norwegian Butter Wreath Cookies)
One serving has 226 kcal and 3 g protein. Ready in 115 minutes.

- Preparation: 90 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (49 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 4 g Egg yolks (half of them hard-boiled)
- 10 g Sugar, part of it as pearl sugar
- 15 g Butter, unsalted, soft
- 18 g Flour, all-purpose
- 2 g Egg whites, raw
Method
- For the cooked yolks, boil whole eggs for 10 minutes, cool them in cold water, peel and take out the yolks; use the whites for something else.
- Press the cooked yolks through a sieve and stir them with the raw yolks and three-quarters of the sugar until smooth and pale.
- Work in the soft butter, then the flour, to a smooth dough. Wrap it and chill for 1 hour.
- Heat the oven to 190°C and line baking trays with baking paper. Roll small pieces of dough into ropes as thick as a pencil and about 12 cm long, and loop each into a small wreath with the ends crossing over each other, three a serving.
- Whisk the egg white lightly. Dip the top of each wreath in it and then in the rest of the sugar, as pearl sugar, and set them on the trays.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until just golden underneath; the tops should stay pale. Let them cool on the tray, as they are fragile while warm, and keep them in a tin.
