Directions

  1. Once the butter has reached room temperature, sift the sugar (white, brown sugar, or a mixture of cane sugar and white sugar) and mix it into the butter. ≈ 4 min
  2. (It is recommended to use an electric hand mixer.) ≈ 3 min
  3. Add half an egg and whisk together. ≈ 4 min
  4. Combine the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. ≈ 4 min
  5. Next, sift the mixture with the cake flour. ≈ 2 min
  6. Then, add this mixture, in small amounts, to the butter, sugar, and egg mixture, stirring vigorously each time. ≈ 3 min
  7. Spread the dough on a work surface, then shape it into sausage or bar shapes. ≈ 10 min
  8. Next, wrap them in cling film and place them in the refrigerator for about half a day, until they are firm.
  9. After refrigerating the dough, lightly moisten the surface of the small breads with water, then cut them into pieces about 1 cm thick (if the thickness is greater, the baking may not be successful). ≈ 8 min
  10. Prepare a small container of sugar for your coffee. ≈ 3 min
  11. Place the dough slices in the container, ensuring that both sides and the edges of each slice are well covered with sugar. ≈ 3 min
