Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 150 g sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 100 g flour
- 40 g cornstarch
- 0.5 tsp Baking powder
- 150 g strawberry jam
- small colorful chocolate chips
- powdered sugar
- licorice snail
Instructions
-
1.
Separate the eggs. Beat the yolks with 100 g of sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Whip the egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff peaks form, then fold into the yolk mixture.
-
2.
Sift together flour, cornstarch, and baking powder; fold into the beaten whites using a wooden spoon. Spread the batter evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 10 minutes. Transfer the baked sponge onto a sugar‑dusted towel, remove the parchment, and carefully roll the hot dough with the towel’s help. Let it cool on a cooling rack. Slice the rolled sponge into twelve 3–4 cm thick pieces; two slices make one snail.

3.
Roll one slice gently, spread jam over it, and roll again to form the snail shell. The elongated body of the snail consists of an uncoated rolled sponge slice.

4.
Place the snail shell on the end of the body and secure with a little jam.
-
5.
For the head, coat one end of the body with jam and roll upward.

6.
Attach chocolate chips to the eyes using a powdered‑sugar glaze (powdered sugar mixed with a few drops of water). Stick licorice pieces as feelers. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
