Directions
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour (280 g), baking powder (1 tsp), salt (a pinch), and vanilla sugar (1 tsp). Add the butter (80 g) and mix thoroughly with your hands until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs (2) and sugar (70 g) until smooth. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. Incorporate the almonds (40 g) and knead with your hands until the dough is uniform. Shape the dough into a log and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
-
Roll each piece into a smaller log. Divide each log into 3 equal sections. Place the sections on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden.
-
Melt the chocolate (80 g). Once the rolls have cooled slightly, coat them with the melted chocolate in two layers, allowing the first layer to set before applying the second.
