While writing this book, my Aunt Vreni sent me some of my Grandmother’s old recipes. Her Kleine Mandelbretzeln (little almond pretzels) were dipped in a mix of almonds and sugar before baking. I eschewed the fiddly task of rolling pretzels and cut out bears instead in a nod to Bern, my grandmother’s home canton.
Ingredients
Method
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, almonds, sugar and salt.
Add the butter and rub into the mixture with your hands until you get small crumbs. Add the egg and mix to form a dough.
Form into a disc, wrap and chill in the fridge for about an hour, or until firm.
