  • 10 g trimoline (or acacia honey)
  • 4 eggs
  • 300 g butter
  • 1 egg + 1 yolk (glaze)
  • 200 g chopped almonds

Prepare the starter by mixing the 50 g flour with the water and baker’s yeast. Leave to rise for 30 min.

Put the flour in the bowl of a stand mixer. Make a well, add the sugar, trimoline, starter and eggs.
