Description

The original recipe uses fat, but I don't like it, so you can replace it with 100 g of butter.

Ingredients

Fat - 2.8 oz
Egg white - 1 piece
Honey - 2.5 oz
Wheat Flour - 8.8 oz
Baking Powder - ½ teaspoon
Salt - a pinch
Citrus Zest Mix - 1 piece
Powdered Sugar - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Sift the flour and add a pinch of salt and baking powder.

Step 2

The butter (fat) should be soft. Beat the butter with the eggs. Add the grated lemon zest, honey, and mix thoroughly. Gradually add the flour and knead the dough. If the dough is sticky, place it in the refrigerator for half an hour to cool.

Step 3

Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 356°F.

Step 4

Tear off small pieces of dough, roll them into ropes, and connect the ends to form rings. Place the rings on the baking sheet, leaving a small space between them as they will rise a bit. You can brush the rings with egg yolk and sprinkle with poppy seeds, or you can skip the brushing and just sprinkle the finished products with powdered sugar (I prefer the second option).
