Nut Slices with Egg Yolk Glaze

Instructions

• 1
  Preheat the oven to 160 °C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 2
  Cream butter with sugar until foamy. Stir in flour and finely grated nuts. Whisk egg whites into stiff peaks and carefully fold them into the batter in portions.
• 3
  Spread the batter onto the baking sheet lined with parchment paper, use a pastry scraper to spread it to the edges of the sheet and smooth the surface. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes.
• 4
  Remove the baking sheet from the oven and pour the glaze over the still warm dough. Let it cool. The next day, cut into 5×3 cm cubes.
• 5
  In a food processor, cream all ingredients until foamy. Pour the glaze over the warm baked dough.
• 6
  Use a mix of walnuts and hazelnuts. Use more walnuts, as they have a more pronounced flavor.
