  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. Press the cooked yolks through a sieve and stir them with the raw yolks and three-quarters of the sugar until smooth and pale.
  3. Work in the soft butter, then the flour, to a smooth dough. Wrap it and chill for 1 hour.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
