Introduction

Gravel cake is a traditional cookie that combines simplicity with great taste. It gets its name from its crispy and slightly "gravelly" consistency, and is a classic on the cake table.

Ingredients

200 g butter

150 g sugar

1 egg

250 g wheat flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla sugar

Preparation

Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well. Mix the flour, baking powder and vanilla sugar, and fold into the dough.

Shaping

Roll small balls of the dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Press them down lightly with a fork to create a pattern and even baking.

Baking

Bake the cookies at 180 °C for approx. 10–12 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack – then they will be crispy and delicious.
