Zimtwaffeln | Cinnamon Wafers
These Zimtwaffeln (cinnamon wafers) are my absolute favourites. Ideally you'll be making them with a special waffle iron http://www.amazon.de/Syntrox-Germany-Zimtwaffelautomat-Wechselplatten-Zimtwaffeleisen/dp/B005UCI8ZW.
250g soft butter
250g sugar
4 eggs
40g cinnamon
500g flour
Combine 250g of soft butter, 250g of sugar, 4 eggs, 40g of cinnamon and 500g of flour in a bowl, then knead the dough thoroughly. If you want to add more cinnamon, go for it as this is the main flavour.
Put your dough into the fridge for about 1 hour to rest.
If you have a waffle iron, form small balls from the dough. You'll be cooking your biscuits in the hot iron. Spray a little oil on the plates and cook the dough balls for 1-3 minutes depending on temperature.
If you have no waffle iron, you can roll out the dough and use a stencil or cookie cutter on them. Bake the biscuits for about 15 minutes in the oven (180 degrees C).
