Baking with hemp
Rascals with hemp
...and delicious jam – a classic among Christmas cookies. Spitzbuben, also known as "Linzer Augen", are jam-filled sandwich cookies dusted with powdered sugar.The Spitzbuben apparently got their name from the typical hole (the eye) cut out in the lid, through which the jam peeks out. Like a spy or an informer – real rascals! They are generally very popular and a must in every Christmas bakery. With hemp flour, you give the recipe an extra kick and provide your body with a good portion of protein and fiber. Have fun baking!

Ingredients for shortcrust pastry:
- 250g flour
- 50g hemp flour
- 200g butter
- 100g sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- Jam for filling
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Preparation:
Quickly knead butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, egg, flour, and hemp flour into a shortcrust dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out to about 2.5 mm thick. Now cut out half and half, meaning one shape for the bottom and the same shape for the top with a hole. Bake at 180°C convection for 8–10 minutes and then assemble the top and bottom with jam. Dust with powdered sugar.
