Ingredients
250
g
flour (type 405)
2
tsp
tartar powder or 3 teaspoons baking powder
150
g
brown sugar
1
pinch
caraway seeds
1
tsp
ground
1
tsp
ground coriander
1/2
tsp
anise
1
egg
125
g
melted butter
Instructions
Mix the dry ingredients together. Then add the egg and butter and knead everything together well.
Shape the dough into a roll 3 to 4 cm in diameter. Wrap in household foil and let rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Then take out the dough, remove the foil and cut the dough into approx. 0.5 cm thick slices.
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees top and bottom heat.
Spread the dough slices on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Choose a little more space, as the dough will rise a lot during baking.
Let the Moppen cool on a wire rack.
Tipps & Hinweise
Keep cool in a tin can.
The caraway flavor gives this sweet pastry a fine note without tasting too much of caraway. The shortbread is tenderly crispy.
