Ingredients

- Butter 5 oz
- Sugar 5 oz
- Wheat Flour 5 oz
- Cinnamon to taste
- Powdered Sugar to taste
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Boil one egg hard — we will only need the yolk. Separate the remaining two eggs into whites and yolks. Whisk the yolks with sugar until lightened.
Step 2
Add the crumbled boiled yolk and mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Add the softened butter and beat the mixture. Gradually add the flour. First half, then the rest. The dough should be soft and slightly fatty.
Step 4
Pinch off small pieces about the size of a hazelnut (6–7 g) and roll them into balls.
Step 5
Dip all the balls in the egg white, lightly beaten with a fork. It’s convenient to do this in small batches in a small bowl.
Step 6
Then, roll all the balls in a mixture of cinnamon and powdered sugar. You can also roll them only in powdered sugar, without cinnamon.
Step 7
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. No need to grease anything.
Step 8
Bake at 340°F for about 25 minutes. Watch to ensure the balls do not brown too much. As soon as they are covered with cracks and become slightly golden — they are ready!
Step 9
Cool and store in a sealed container.
