Walnut rolled biscuits - recipe with step-by-step photos

Ingredients for about 30 biscuits:

• 150 grams of flour
• 80 grams of butter
• 70 grams of walnut kernels
• 50 grams of fresh cream
• 40 grams of sugar
• 1 egg
• half of a teaspoon with dried yeast
• a bit of salt

Separate the egg white from the egg yolk.

Beat the egg yolk with half of the sugar and the salt until it doubles the volume.

Add the melted butter, the fresh cream and the dried yeast and beat for a few seconds until everything is well incorporated.

Incorporate the flour a bit at a time. Do not put a lot of flour at once because then the dough will crumble.

Make a non sticky dough and put it in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Divide the dough in 4 equal parts.

Start with spreading one on the table, as thin as you can.

Meanwhile, beat the egg white with the remaining sugar. When forms stiff peaks, add the crushed walnuts and mix.

Divide the egg white composition in 4 equal parts.

Spread one part on top of the dough already spread on the table.

Roll the dough and cut small biscuits, as shown in the photo.

Repeat the operation with the remaining dough layers and walnut mixture.

Put the biscuits on a baking paper in an oven tray and let them bake in the preheated oven at 180 Celsius degrees for 15 minutes.

When ready let it cool and then spread some powdered sugar above.

Enjoy!
