Love Letters

Put flour in baking bowl. Sprinkle sugar on top. Press an indentation in the center. Butter flakes egg, egg yolk and lemon zest into the bulge. Next, quickly knead everything together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest for an hour.

Cut out 24 small hearts from the marzipan mixture. Mix some fine sugar with a little bit of tap water to make a smooth icing. Coat the marzipan hearts with the icing and put them on the love letters. The love letters are a real delicacy.
