220 grams of "regular" flour or gluten-free "tami" flour 100 grams of powdered sugar 200 grams of cold butter, cut into cubes 30 grams of ground almonds 50 grams of cornflour A pinch of salt 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1 egg L 2-3 tablespoons of milk (if necessary) Lemon zest For the filling: Chocolate spread/date spread - any spread you like You can decorate with: powdered sugar

Preparation instructions:

In a food processor with a steel blade, process together flour, powdered sugar, butter, almonds, cornstarch, vanilla salt, and lemon zest until a crumbly mixture is obtained. Add egg and continue processing just until dough lumps form. If the dough does not come together, add 1-2 more tablespoons of milk. Transfer the dough lumps to a work surface, bring together with your hands, and flatten into a disk shape. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a sheet about 3 mm thick. Cut out circles of the desired size. Fill each circle with the desired filling and close to form the ears of manna. It is important not to fill too much. Place the cookies at intervals on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Bake for 12-17 minutes, or until the ears are golden brown and set. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
