The Best Corners Are Still Nussecken

The best corners are still Nussecken (nut triangles)!

I baked some yesterday for a dear friend’s birthday.

Just to be “safe,” I secretly kept two Nussecken for myself and taste-tested them — you never know, maybe they didn’t turn out well.
But the taste test was a success — mmmmmm 😋

Here’s the recipe:

• 300 g flour

• 1 level tsp baking powder

• 130 g sugar

• 2 packets vanilla sugar

• Rum or rum flavoring (optional, to taste)

Topping:
