Feenküsse verbinden zarten, buttrigen Mürbeteig mit knusprigem Toffifee-Kern. Die goldbraunen, zart schmelzenden Küchlein vereinen samtige Süße, nussige Karamell-Note und eine luftig-leichte Eiweißhaube – unwiderstehlich lecker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Prise Salz
- 1 EL Wasser
- 200 g Mehl
- 60 g Zucker
- 120 g Butter oder Margarine
- 1 Eigelb
- 50 Stück(e) Konfekt (Toffifee)
- 2 Eiweiß
- 1 TL Zitronensaft
- 150 g Zucker
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 200 g of flour, 50 g of sugar, 120 g of softened butter or margarine, 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of water, and a pinch of salt. Knead these ingredients thoroughly until a smooth and consistent dough forms. This dough should be pliable but firm enough to roll out without sticking excessively.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover it with a clean kitchen towel, then place it in the refrigerator to rest for 1 hour. This resting period allows the dough to firm up, making it easier to handle and helping the flavors to meld.
- After the dough has rested, lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough evenly to a thickness of about 3 to 5 millimeters. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the rolled dough. The size of the circles should be sufficient to hold one piece of Toffifee comfortably in the center.
- Place each dough circle onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. In the center of each circle, place one Toffifee candy. Ensure the candy sits flat and stable on the dough to prevent it from sliding during baking.
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, begin whipping the 2 egg whites with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Start beating at a medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining 150 g of sugar in a slow, steady stream while continuing to beat the egg whites. Continue whipping until you achieve a glossy, stiff meringue that holds firm peaks and is smooth in texture.
- Using a piping bag fitted with a round or star nozzle, carefully pipe the meringue over each Toffifee and dough base, completely covering the candy. The meringue should form a smooth, thick layer ensuring the Toffifee is fully enclosed.
- Preheat your oven to 165 degrees Celsius (approximately 330 degrees Fahrenheit). Once ready, place the baking tray with the prepared Feenküsse into the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. During baking, the meringue should set and develop a light golden hue without burning.
- After baking, remove the Feenküsse from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking tray or a wire rack. Cooling helps the meringue to firm up properly and makes handling easier.
- Once cooled, carefully transfer the Feenküsse to a serving plate. Enjoy these delightful treats fresh, as their crisp meringue and soft Toffifee centers offer an irresistible combination.
Notes
For the best results, ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free from grease when whipping the egg whites, as any fat can prevent the meringue from stiffening properly. You can substitute Toffifee with other similar caramel-filled chocolates if desired. Store the Feenküsse in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
