CINNAMON Limon

over a year ago I had in mind to make this recipe of polvorones but for one thing or another, I've been putting off until Christmas.

These days, as I had more free time, I used to pay off my debt and I loved the result. Well, actually, we love them all.

is incredible, but the recipe that I got at the time of the Onega blog is perfect, but it takes a while, it is not complicated.

The result has been so successful that I will not wait for next Christmas to repeat the recipe.

CINNAMON Limon

750 gr flour 325 gr

lard

140 g of icing sugar (I've ground the coffee grinder)

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 shot

anise Zest of ½ lemon

40 g toasted sesame seeds and a tad more to decorate

first thing we do is to toast the flour. I've roasted in a pan, not having a big enough, I've been doing repeatedly. To this end, I put the heat to medium and I have been stirring constantly, until golden brown color has taken.

Be careful because if you are not careful you can burn quickly.

This is the most cumbersome of the recipe. Once we have the roux, the sift and set aside.

Using the coffee grinder grind sesame seeds (I would have bought a herbalist and forth and toast). Once the reserve ground.

Now in a bowl, put the lard and sugar glass. With a whisk, or disponéis hand if it does not, we beat the butter and sugar until mixture is creamy us. Incorporate cinnamon, lemon zest and continue mixing.

now incorporate the shot of anise and continue mixing. Now add the sesame seeds that we had booked. Mix again.

It is now incorporated toasted and sifted flour we had booked. Gradually. The dough has to be soft and tender. Make a ball and let cool in the refrigerator for one hour.

After the time, extend the mass with a rolling pin, leaving it plump. I've left you with 1 cm thick. Now with a pastry cutter cutting polvorones going and going, placing the baking sheet to which you previously have placed a parchment paper. Polvorones once placed in the tray, sprinkle them over a few grains of sesame. With a finger pressing the seeds going to be sticking to the dough.

While doing this operation, we preheat the oven to heat only the upper, 210 º C. Once preheated the oven, we introduce the polvorones and bake for 10 minutes.

The area is to acquire a light tan, if you see that they get too white boys, you can turn up the heat a tad baked.

is important that you do not slacken with time for polvorones not stay too dry inside.

These amounts have left me about 50 polvorones that have nothing to envy those who buy for Christmas.
