- Steirerkraft natural pumpkin seeds
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 170 °C. Place a layer of baking paper on a baking tin.
- Place room-temperature butter into a bowl. Sieve both types of flour, baking powder and cocoa and add them to the butter. Add the grated Steirerkraft pumpkin seeds, icing and vanilla sugar and mix to form a smooth dough. Place the dough into a piping bag with a wide star-shaped opening. Form into preferred shapes – rings, sticks or balls – and place onto baking tray.
Sprinkle with grated Steirerkraft pumpkin seeds as desired. For the jam biscuits, make an indentation with the end of a wet wooden spoon in each ball. - Bake at 170°C until light brown.
- Once they have cooled, stick two pieces together using heated and thickened fruit jam. Or simply put some jam in the indentation of each biscuit.
This is my tip
You can also dip the biscuits into heated chocolate. They taste even better after being stored for a few days. Pumpkin seed biscuits can be easily stored in biscuit tins.
