Suggestions

  • • Let them cool completely before putting them in a tin. That keeps them crispy.
  • • Serve as they are, or give them a light dusting of powdered sugar just before serving.
  • • They work well on a platter where you can just take one at a time.

Drink Pairings

  • • Glass: Coffee or tea

Side Pairings

  • • Cookie platter

Dessert Pairings

  • • Fruit

Storage

Fresh

  • • Duration: 3 days
  • • Temperature: 20°C
  • • Method: In an airtight tin, cool and dry

Frozen

  • • Duration: 3 months
  • • Temperature: -18°C
  • • Method: Freeze the unbaked wreaths and bake straight from frozen

Tips

Preparation

  • • Use vanilla you can smell. This is where the wreaths get their character.
  • • If the dough is stiff, let it sit for 5 minutes at room temperature before piping.

Cooking

  • • Keep an eye on them during baking. They only need to turn lightly golden.
  • • Bake one tray first so you can gauge time and colour in your oven.

Serving

  • • Cool completely before storing to keep them crispy.
  • • A light dusting of powdered sugar when serving works well, but they also stand on their own.

Variations

Flavor

  • Classic vanilla
  • Lemon zest
  • Cardamom

Presentation

  • Sprinkle a little pearl sugar on top before baking for extra crunch.
  • Make small hearts instead of wreaths for a child-friendly version.
