Arnhemse meisjes
These crispy, spiced pastries are a beloved Dutch treat that earned their name, "girls from Arnhem," in 19th century cafes. The cardamom and cinnamon create warmth that lime brightens rather than sweetens, a balance that keeps you reaching for another. Laminated puff pastry gets its shatter through a hot oven and the vanilla sugar's crystalline crust, making the technique as rewarding as the bite.
Instructions
Take your puff pastry from the freezer and defrost.
Sprinkle some flour on the kitchen counter.
Stack the sheets of puff pastry on top of each other and roll them out with a rolling pin.
You want those five sheets to end up being as thin as one sheet.
Using a round or oval form press into the puff pastry and try to be as economical doing that as possible.
You want to have as many cookies as you can.
Mix the vanilla sugar with the cinnamon, cardemom and limezest in a little bowl Remove the flour from the counter and sprinkle with a bit of the sugar mix.
Brush your puff pastry with a little bit of eggwash and than dip into the sugar mix and roll them softly to press the sugar in.
Put your sugary puff pastry on a baking sheet (greased or with baking paper) and leave the dough to rest for about 20 to 25 minutes. this will make the cookies even crisper.
Preheat the oven in the meantime to 180 C and put the baking tray in the oven. bake the cookies golden brown in about 25 minutes and make sure the sugar is caramelised nicely And voila, Girls from Arnhem with an Almeerse twist Voila, Arnhemse Meisjes met een Almeerse twist..
