Preparation

  1. STEP 1 OF 9

    The quantities are for 15 offelle

  2. STEP 2 OF 9

    To make the dough, pour the flour onto the work surface, mix in the powdered sugar, and make a well. Add the softened butter and the 2 egg yolks, working the ingredients quickly.

  3. STEP 3 OF 9

    Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in a sheet of wax paper, and place it in the least cold part of the refrigerator for half an hour.

  4. STEP 4 OF 9

    Meanwhile, prepare the filling.

  5. STEP 5 OF 9

    Sift the flour and potato starch into a bowl along with 75 g of powdered sugar: add two egg yolks, 15 g of very lukewarm melted butter, and finally the two egg whites beaten to stiff peaks.

  6. STEP 6 OF 9

    After the indicated time, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3 mm and use a cutter with a diameter of about 8 cm to cut out discs.

  7. STEP 7 OF 9

    Distribute a little filling in each, brush the edge of each half-disc with beaten egg white, then fold the dough in half to form half-moons.

  8. STEP 8 OF 9

    Press the joining point well so that the filling does not escape during cooking: place the 'offelle' on a buttered baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 35 minutes.

  9. STEP 9 OF 9

    Serve them warm or cold, dusted with powdered sugar.
