2. Next, blend 3 ounces of brown sugar, and pour 2 tablespoons of sugar cane syrup and 2 tablespoons of milk in the mixture. Mix well until the dough becomes thick.
3.Then, put the batter on a floured plate. Knead until it's homogeneous and spread it (the batter must still be 1,5 cm inch thick)
4. Next, cut the mixture in stars shapes. Put them on a plate and let them cool.
5. After that, heat up in the oven while 10 or 12 minutes. Take the biscuits out of the oven and let them cool a little. And put them on another plate.
6. While they're cooling, prepare the glaze: in a little bowl, little by little, include 2 ounces of sifted caster sugar to an egg white until you get a thick liquid.
7. Finally, brush the surface of the biscuits with glaze using a brush or a pastry bag.
You can place them on a plate.
Personal comments
For me, who don't specially like cooking, a dish can tell lots of things about a country, about its traditions and what is special about it. But we can also add a message to a dish, so that it can allude to history, for example.
That's why I chose to take a German dish as the basis of my recipe, and add salted butter used in France and in England, and finally the powder of an Italian amaretto (made with almond). These four countries were at war in the past, I think of the World Wars that were unprecedented massacres.
From then on, people have considered German people as Nazis. For how long? Shouldn't we leave it away, without forgetting what happened but change our mentalities?
Germans are not Nazis, as all French people are not royalists (American stereotype of French people, also called "froggies"by the British).
According to me, the union of these countries could be enriching. We should take advantage of this union.
