1/ Streusel

The next day, roll out the dough until it is approximately 7 mm thick on a cooking sheet. Refrigerate until hardened so it can be cut easily.
Cut the dough into small 7 x 7 mm cubes. Freeze until the cubes harden again and can be removed easily without loosing their shape when you take them off the cooking sheet.
On a cooking sheet covered with parchment paper, spread the streusel. Cook in a preheated oven (100 °C) for 45 minutes.
