Ingredients

Na těsto:

6 egg whites
a pinch of salt
250 g butter (softened)
200 g powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
250 g ground hazelnuts
150 g all-purpose flour

Na žloutkovou polevu:

6 egg yolks
300 g powdered sugar

Preparation procedure

Preparing the egg whites Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt into stiff peaks. They should form peaks.
Hazelnut dough In another bowl, beat the softened butter with the powdered and vanilla sugar until creamy (3–5 minutes). Gently fold the ground hazelnuts and sifted flour into the butter mixture. Finally, carefully fold in the whipped egg whites so the dough remains airy.
Baking Spread the dough evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (convection 160 °C) for about 20 minutes, until the surface turns golden.
Yolk glaze Whisk the egg yolks with the powdered sugar into a smooth, thick glaze (3–4 minutes). Let the baked dough cool slightly (5–10 minutes) and then spread the prepared glaze evenly over it.
Setting and cutting Allow the bars to cool completely and the glaze to set (about 30 minutes in the fridge). Cut into portions and serve.
