Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour, butter, egg and water. Knead until obtaining a homogeneous dough.
- On the work surface, shape the dough to obtain a long rope. Divide it into 15 pieces of equal size (about 1 oz/30g per piece). Form balls and flatten them slightly.
- Place all the balls, well spaced, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for two hours.
- Preheat oven at 350F/180C.
- Prepare the filling by mixing the almond meal, sugar, and cardamom. Mix well.
- Roll each piece of dough into a circle about 4 inches (10cm) in diameter (not too thin).
- In the center of each disc, add a tablespoon of filling. Close the circle in half. Pinch the edges to seal them.
- Then pinch the edge more tightly, fold inward, and continue along the edge.
- Using small flat pliers, make geometric patterns on the top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
