Cinnamon mantecados

Nears Christmas and the pantries are already filling up Typical products of these dates. The majority confectionery. How about if instead of buying them we make them at home? Here I propose a typical sweet that will not take us long: Cinnamon mantecados.

Let's not fool ourselves. At this time of year it is practically impossible to take care of yourself so better enjoy yourself and we will have a good New Year's resolution. However, we can choose to make many of these caloric preparations in our home in a more natural controlling the use of ingredients. Advantage provided by having Thermomix. It allows us to do many things that we can find in supermarkets but in a homemade way and, therefore, much healthier.

This time I present one of the sweet stars of Christmas. The cinnamon shortbreads of a lifetime. I have to say that it is the second time that I do them and each time I surprising more of the result. It has nothing to envy to the cinnamon ice creams of industrial origin. Some bites that melt in your mouth and leave a taste of wheat flour and toasted almonds. Is my christmas candy favorite!

As we leave them more or less time in the oven, they will stay longer. tender or more toasted. That will taste like always. In the description of the recipe I will leave you the intervals. One way or another you will love them.

Regarding the presentation suggestion, you can see in the photograph that I have only decorated using Sesame seeds. We can also use melted chocolate, sugar glass or even glazed mixing the icing sugar with very little water so that we have a dense mixture. Although I'll tell you the truth: you don't need to put anything on it. As long as they come out of the oven, they are already irresistible.

Happy cinnamon shortbreads everyone! Y Happy Holidaysof course!

Ingredients

• 300 g of wheat flour
• 100 g of peeled raw almonds
• 150 g of sugar
• 100 g of lard
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (to taste)
• Sesame seeds to decorate

Preparation

1. We introduce the wheat flour and the almonds in the glass and crush by programming 30 seconds at speed 5-10.

2. Sift the mixture into an oven-safe container. We can help ourselves with a strainer or a sieve. It was easier for me to use the strainer and spoon to speed up the process.

3. We preheat the oven to 130º and bake the flour for 45 minutes. Every 10 minutes we move it with a spatula so that it toasts well all over. Let it cold down.

4. We introduce 150 g of sugar in the glass and pulverize it, programming 30 seconds at speed 5-10.

5. We add the rest of the ingredients. The flour that should be cold, the lard at room temperature and the cinnamon and mix everything by programming 15 seconds at speed 6.

6. We dump the dough on a board and shape it into a roll. The size will depend on how big we want the mantecados. We wrap the roll in fim paper and put in the fridge for an hour.

7. Cut the roll into 1 cm thick sections and place the mantecados on a baking tray covered with parchment paper. We preheat the oven to 180º

8. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and bake for 10 minutes to make them soft. We can leave them for 15 minutes so that they are more toasted.

9. Once we have the cold flour,
