Their history dates back to the 16th century, when they were prepared for the Christmas holidays;  today, Linzer biscuits are enjoyed all over the world and are consumed at any time of the year.  In addition to the biscuits, the Linzer Cake, prepared with the same ingredients, is certainly worth a try;  it is a simple tart, also filled with red fruit jam, decorated with a lattice of shortcrust pastry and a finish of flaked almonds.  Austria is famous for its rich and delicious confectionery tradition;  together with the famous Sacher Torte, ai <strong>Vanillekipferl<\/strong>i <strong>Lebkuchen<\/strong> they <strong>Spitzbuben,<\/strong> Linzer biscuits are certainly among the most popular pastries here in Italy.  The peculiarity of these biscuits lies in the use of spices, which give the biscuits a very particular aroma and taste;  Cinnamon is a spice widely used in pastry making and we can also find it as a characteristic ingredient in Speculoos, Chelsea Buns and of course in Cinnamon Rolls, the leavened dough rolls.  Another peculiarity of Linzer biscuits is their shape, which has a decorative motif in the centre.  This motif can be in the shape of a heart, flower, star or other and is obtained by cutting half of the biscuits with a smaller cutter.  Their appearance is a real feast for the eyes, with the characteristic opening in the center that reveals the vibrant color and inviting consistency of the jam which must be strictly bright red.<\/p>\n<section class=\"envireit-recipes-data\">\n<div class=\"ingredients\">\n<h3><i class=\"fas fa-list-ul\"><\/i>  Ingredients for <i>For 50 biscuits<\/i><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"envireit-recipe-yelds\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Butter: 120 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Sugar: 100 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Egg: 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Almond flour: 60 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  00 flour: 200 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Baking powder for gluten-free desserts: 4 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Vanilla pod: 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Ground cinnamon: 1 pinch<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Salt: 1 pinch<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Raspberry or red fruit jam: to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"envireit-recipe-fields\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"preptime\"><i class=\"fas fa-utensils\"><\/i>  Preparation: <i>1 hour, 30 minutes<\/i><\/li>\n<li class=\"cooktime\"><i class=\"fas fa-fire\"><\/i>  Cooking: <i>15 minutes<\/i><\/li>\n<li class=\"totaltime\"><i class=\"fas fa-clock\"><\/i>  Total: <i>1 hour, 45 minutes<\/i><\/li>\n<li class=\"calories\"><i class=\"fas fa-heartbeat\"><\/i>  Calories: <i>202 Kcal\/biscuit<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"envireit-recipes-instructions\">\n<div class=\"envireit-recipe-instructions\">\n<h2>Preparation<\/h2>\n<div class=\"step step-1\"><span class=\"stepcount\">1<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Remove the butter from the fridge at least an hour before;  cut it into cubes and put it in a bowl together with the sugar. <\/p>\n<picture class=\"image-step\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Linzer-biscuits-a-classic-of-the-Austrian-Christmas-tradition.jpg\" alt>\n<\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"step step-2\"><span class=\"stepcount\">2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Add the salt and cinnamon. <\/p>\n<picture class=\"image-step\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1702021274_891_Linzer-biscuits-a-classic-of-the-Austrian-Christmas-tradition.jpg\" alt>\n<\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"step step-3\"><span class=\"stepcount\">3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Open the vanilla pod in half, remove the seeds with a knife and add them to the bowl together with the butter. <\/p>\n<picture class=\"image-step\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1702021274_911_Linzer-biscuits-a-classic-of-the-Austrian-Christmas-tradition.jpg\" alt>\n<\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"step step-4\"><span class=\"stepcount\">4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Work the dough with a spatula until the mixture becomes soft. <\/p>\n<picture class=\"image-step\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1702021274_783_Linzer-biscuits-a-classic-of-the-Austrian-Christmas-tradition.jpg\" alt>\n<\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"step step-5\"><span class=\"stepcount\">5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Add the egg and process for 1 minute more. <\/p>\n<picture class=\"image-step\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1702021275_830_Linzer-biscuits-a-classic-of-the-Austrian-Christmas-tradition.jpg\" alt>\n<\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"step step-6\"><span class=\"stepcount\">6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Add the almond flour and work with the spatula. <\/p>\n<picture class=\"image-step\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1702021275_859_Linzer-biscuits-a-classic-of-the-Austrian-Christmas-tradition.jpg\" alt>\n<\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"step step-7\"><span class=\"stepcount\">7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Add the yeast and flour. <\/p>\n<picture class=\"image-step\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1702021275_505_Linzer-biscuits-a-classic-of-the-Austrian-Christmas-tradition.jpg\" alt>\n<\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"step step-8\"><span class=\"stepcount\">8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Start mixing the ingredients using a spatula then, as the mixture takes consistency, you can help yourself with a tarot or with your hands.

To grind them, add a spoonful of sugar taken from the quantity indicated in the recipe to the almonds.  It will serve to prevent the oil from leaking.<\/p>\n<p>After forming the dough, leave it <strong>rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour<\/strong>.  This step is important because it makes the dough more manageable and improves the consistency of the biscuits.  You can also prepare the dough a day in advance so as to organize the work better, especially if you have to prepare a large quantity.<\/p>\n<p>When rolling out the dough, try to keep it uniform so that all the cookies bake evenly.  There are practical guides on the market, made of wood or silicone, suitable for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>storage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Store Linzer biscuits<strong> in an airtight container<\/strong>, such as a tin box or an airtight glass jar.  This will help protect the cookies from moisture and keep them crispy for several days.  Store the container in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat sources and sunlight.  They generally keep well for a week or more if stored properly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"gptslot evo-btf\" data-adunitid=\"3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<section class=\"envireit-recipes-data\">\n<div class=\"ingredients\">\n<h3><i class=\"fas fa-list-ul\"><\/i>  Ingredients for <i>For 50 biscuits<\/i><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"envireit-recipe-yelds\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Butter: 120 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Sugar: 100 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Egg: 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Almond flour: 60 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  00 flour: 200 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Baking powder for gluten-free desserts: 4 g<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Vanilla pod: 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Ground cinnamon: 1 pinch<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Salt: 1 pinch<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\"><i class=\"far fa-square\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>  Raspberry or red fruit jam: to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"envireit-recipe-fields\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"preptime\"><i class=\"fas fa-utensils\"><\/i>  Preparation: <i>1 hour, 30 minutes<\/i><\/li>\n<li class=\"cooktime\"><i class=\"fas fa-fire\"><\/i>  Cooking: <i>15 minutes<\/i><\/li>\n<li class=\"totaltime\"><i class=\"fas fa-clock\"><\/i>  Total: <i>1 hour, 45 minutes<\/i><\/li>\n<li class=\"calories\"><i class=\"fas fa-heartbeat\"><\/i>  Calories: <i> 202 Kcal\/biscuit<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linzer biscuits: a classic of the Austrian Christmas tradition THE Linzer biscuits they are delicious spiced biscuits made with almonds and red fruit jam, \u2013 red currant or raspberry \u2013 originally from the Austrian city of Linz.
