250 grams white sugar

Butter 165 grams

Coarsely ground hazelnuts – 40 grams

Ground almonds – 40 grams

Coarsely ground walnuts – 40 grams

Salt – 5 grams

Toasted pecans – coarsely ground – 155 grams

Peanuts – coarsely ground – 155 grams

Ingredients for the dough:

300 grams butter

185 grams powdered sugar

60 grams almond powder

500 grams flour

4.5 grams salt

2 eggs

Preparation instructions:

• Place the cream, sugar, butter and honey in a saucepan, cook until boiling, stirring, until a light caramel color is obtained - and turn off the heat.

• Add the coarsely chopped nuts, stir and remove from the pot into a stainless steel or plastic container to cool.

• After cooling (at least 3 hours), form small balls weighing 8 grams.

Preparing the dough:

• Place all ingredients in a mixer and knead for about 5 minutes at high speed. You should get a streusel texture, in which all the butter has been absorbed.

• Add the eggs to the mixer, while stirring, and mix for about 5 minutes, until you obtain a uniform dough.

• Let it rest for half an hour in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap.

• Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm and cut out circles of 8 cm (diameter).

• Fill the circles we cut with the Florentine balls and fold into Haman's ear.

• Place in an oven preheated to 170 degrees and bake for about 12 minutes.

• Cool and serve with a little powdered sugar on top.
