A classic is a classic. I haven't done these in a very long time, so I made them again this year. It's a pain with them, but it's definitely worth it. Especially for those who love walnuts. The dough is not nutty, but the filling is, and the combination of chocolate and a whole walnut on top is excellent. It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also to the tummy. The filling was different in the original recipe, but I came back to my classic - walnuts and apricot jam.

Preparation steps

Beat the butter with powdered and vanilla sugar until foamy, add the egg yolks, rum and then all the mixed loose ingredients. Make a ball, which you put in the fridge for an hour and then roll out a thin sheet from the dough.
Cut out circles from the rolled out sheet of dough, which you bake on baking paper in a preheated oven at a temperature of 355 °F / 180 °C for 7 minutes (keep an eye on it, each oven bakes differently, the time is only indicative).
Mix the ground walnuts with the marmalade - the quantity is also indicative only, it depends on the density of the marmalade. Make the filling so that it is neither too thick nor too thin.
Put 2 circles together and then dip the top in the chocolate coating (I make the chocolate coating by melting high-percentage chocolate in a water bath and adding 1 tablespoon of butter per 3.5 oz of chocolate). Place half a walnut on top of the chocolate and let it harden.
