For the poppy flowers, put Fini’s Feinstes flour in a bowl or on the work surface and mix with powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, poppy seeds and salt. Make a well and add the finely diced butter and the egg. Now knead all the ingredients by hand into a smooth dough.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. After resting, preheat the oven to 180 °C (top/bottom heat).
Then knead the dough again briefly and roll out with a rolling pin on a floured work surface to a thickness of approx. 3 mm. Cut out flowers (half of the cookies each with a hole).
Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in the preheated oven on the middle shelf for approx. 8-10 minutes until golden brown under supervision. Then let them cool down.
Finally, assemble the poppies with currant jam.
Preparation Tip:
Make different colored poppies by using not only currant jam but also apricot jam for filling.
