Ingredients

  • 1 tsp deer antler salt
  • 20 ml kirschwasser
  • 4 eggs
  • 500 g powdered sugar
  • 500 g flour (Type 405)
  • 1 tbsp anise seeds
  • butter (for the tray)
  • cornstarch (for working)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Dissolve the deer antler salt in the kirschwasser. Whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, whisking well. Use a stand mixer to beat the mixture vigorously. Add the kirschwasser and sifted flour gradually, mixing until smooth. Cover the dough and chill for at least 3 hours. Then roll it out on a cornstarch‑dusted surface to a thickness of 8–10 mm. Lightly dust the Springerle molds with cornstarch and press them into the dough. Cut out individual shapes with a pastry cutter or knife, place them on a floured tray, and let dry for about 24 hours.

  2. 2.

    Preheat the oven to 140 °C fan‑forced. Brush a baking sheet with butter.

  3. 3.

    Place the dough briefly on a damp kitchen towel, remove it, and set it on the anise‑sprinkled baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Remove from the tray and let cool.

  4. 4.

    Before eating, store the Springerle for at least two weeks, preferably in a tin with an apple.
