Pink Peppercorn Pfeffernüsse
Ingredients:
2 eggs
5 tbsp milk
50g almonds
500g flour
3 tsp baking powder
330g sugar
Juice of 1/2 an lemon
Juice of 1/2 an orange
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1/2 tsp ground pink pepper
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp ginger
1 tbsp cinnamon
For the icing:
200g icing sugar
2 tbsp water
1. Preheat oven to 180˚C. Line 2- 3 baking trays with baking paper.
2. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix together by hand until a ball of dough forms. If it's too sticky, sprinkle some more flour. If it's too hard, add some more milk.
3. With your hands, pull a small piece off and form into a small round ball using both hands. Place ball on baking tray and repeat process until you've used up all your dough and have filled your trays with dough balls. Make sure to leave some distance between each ball.
4. Bake for 15 minutes or until slightly golden brown. While the pfeffernüsse
are baking, make the icing by mixing the icing sugar with water. You
can thin this icing out further by adding more water, but don't add too
much, you want a thick icing, nothing too watery.
5. Remove the pfeffernüsse from the oven and allow to cool. Peel them off from the baking paper and place on a wire rack. Brush with icing and sprinkle with some ground pink peppercorn.
