You need a special iron for this. Brezeli is a Swiss speciality and this particular recipes comes from Bern, the capital. Since I don't have a Brezeli iron (it is quite expensive. ), I havn't tried it. I found it on a German Forum where a Swiss girl was looking for Brezeli recipes. I first tried to convert the recipe into cups, but it's slightly more complex than I thought. The recipe doesn't say anything of buttering the iron. So try the first four without buttering/oiling and see how it works. If it sticks, use melted butter or oil every time. The preparation time is a guess. I also haven't got a clue how many cookies it will yield and I filled in 8 servings because you need to fill in something. Ingredients:
250 g butter (soft) |
250 g caster sugar |
1 pinch salt |
1 lemon, zest of, only |
4 eggs |
500 g flour |
Directions:
1. Whip butter, sugar, salt and lemon zest until frothy.
2. Mix in the flour and knead until you have a nice dough.
3. Leave to rest for at least 1/2 hour.
4. Form rolls of the thickness of a finger.
5. Cut rolls intos small pieces and form balls of the thickness of a hazelnut.
6. Put 4 balls on the ornaments of the iron.
7. Close iron with care.
8. Slightly press iron while brezeli are baking.
9. Keep in a metallic box.
