How To Make Springerle (Recipe) –This is another traditional cookie
famous in Central Europe especially in countries with German minorities. There
is one thing you may find a problem when doing this cookie and that is the mold
because we are going to use molds with design. But if you can’t find the molds
then that’s alright. Simple mold would be alright, the design is just a bonus
but the main thing we must consider here is the taste. On this recipe, we are
going to use anise seeds but I tried sesame seeds and the taste was different
but gives good taste. Also we are going to use vanilla but I tried maple syrup,
it gives different taste as well but as good as using vanilla. You can
experiment using the recipe. You can replace the seeds and vanilla with your
favorite cookie ingredients. Here is how to make Springerle (recipe):
Ingredients
3 ½ cup all-purpose flour
1/8 cup anise seeds (crushed)
4 eggs (whisked)
1 tsp baking powder
2 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
2 ¼ cup brown sugar
½ tsp vanilla
Baking Procedure
- Grease 4 pieces cookie sheets, scatter with anise seeds, set aside.
- In a bowl, mix together flour and baking powder. Mix perfectly.
- In another bowl, combine eggs, vanilla and brown sugar altogether. Whisk perfectly until frothy.
- Slowly pour flour in the eggs mixture while stirring to form a thick dough.
- Scoop dough with your one hand and roll out on floured surface and make it into ¼ inch thick.
- Gently sift confectioners’ sugar onto the dough.
