Veterans from the festivities for the new year, I still want to wish you all a happy 2011, thus providing a very easy these cookies that I used as a placeholder for the New Year's Eve. Piglets lucky are typical of the German tradition (and in fact I knew them now 10 years ago, during my years on earth germanica) and are considered a good omen for the year is starting. Often we find them in pastry, made of marzipan and a coin on the back, as if they were piggy banks!
Glücksschwein - Lucky Pig
Ingredients for the pastry: 250g flour, 100g sugar, 100g butter (or margarine) 1 teaspoon baking powder, lemon peel, 1 egg
Ingredients Glaze: powdered sugar, water, food coloring, candies for decorating
Make pastry, working the flour, baking powder and sugar with the butter, the lemon zest and the egg to get a adf smooth ball. Allow the dough to chill for half an hour in the fridge. Roll out the dough on a floured surface, cut out biscuits and bake in forno a 180° per circa 8 minuti (o finchè risultano dorati). Farli raffreddare. A questo punto procedere con la glassa: in una ciotolina versare lo zucchero a velo, qualche goccia di colorante e un cucchiaino di acqua. Aggiungere zucchero a velo o acqua fino a che non si ottiene un composto filante, morbido ma non eccessivamente liquido. Spalmare la glassa sui biscotti e decorarli con i confettini. Lasciare asciugare la glassa almeno per un paio d'ore.
AUGURI ANCORA :-)
