Baking cookies in the Christmas bakery: How to bake the juicy Hilda rolls according to grandma's recipe
Sift the flour onto your work surface and knead into a dough with the chopped butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, eggs and almonds.
Let the dough for the Hilda rolls according to Grandma's recipe cool for about an hour.
Sprinkle your work surface with some flour and roll out the chilled dough for grandma's Hildabrötchen recipe so that it is about half a centimeter thick.
Start cutting out circles with the larger cutters.
While leaving one half of the large circles as is, cut out the small circles for the Hilda bun tops from the other half until all of the cookie dough is used.
Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper and let them bake at 180 degrees Celsius (200 degrees Celsius top/bottom heat) for about ten minutes.
Since the lidded biscuits are often ready a little faster, you should first take them out of the oven and place them on a wire rack to cool.
Wash the lemon in hot water, grate the zest and squeeze the lemon juice.
Then mix the lemon zest and the juice with the icing sugar to form a smooth lemon icing for the Hilda rolls according to grandma's recipe.
Brush the tops of the Hilda buns with the lemon icing and let them dry thoroughly.
You can then spread jam on the bottom cookies.
For example, choose raspberry jam for half of the biscuits and currant jam for the other half of the Hilda rolls.
The lid cookies are then placed on top of the jam-coated cookies, which you should press on carefully.
Enjoy the Hilda rolls according to grandma's recipe, which not only taste good, but also look great on the cookie plate during the Advent season.
