Vanilice (Serbian Jam-Filled Vanilla Cookies)
One serving has 280 kcal and 3 g protein. Ready in 80 minutes.
- Preparation: 60 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (63.6 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Dairy-free
- Contains: alcohol, egg, gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 25 g Flour, all-purpose
- 12 g Lard
- 8 g Sugar
- 5 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 0.3 g Lemon zest
- 0.3 g Vanilla extract
- 8 g Rosehip or apricot jam
- 5 g Icing sugar with vanilla sugar
Method
- Beat the lard with the sugar for 5 minutes, until pale and creamy, then beat in the egg, lemon zest and vanilla.
- Work in the flour with your hand into a smooth, soft dough; don't knead it any longer than that. Cover and leave it in a cool place for 30 minutes.
- Roll it out 3-4 mm thick on a lightly floured board and cut out small rounds, about 3 cm across, with a plain or fluted cutter.
- Bake them on a tray at 180 °C for 10-12 minutes, until set but still pale, only just colouring underneath.
- While they are still warm, spread half the rounds with a little jam (rosehip, šipak, is the classic) and press another round on top of each.
- Roll them straight away in the vanilla icing sugar and leave them to cool.
- Keep them in a tin: after a day or two they soften and taste better. Vanilice are baked for Christmas, the slava and weddings, and offered to every guest.
