Shortbread Flowers with Ham and Cheese

For the shortcrust pastry: Knead all ingredients briskly in a mixing bowl or on a work surface to form a shortcrust pastry. Let rest in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for 2 to 3 hours before working. Add as little flour as possible when rolling out the dough. This is best done between two baking mats or a thicker vacuum bag (or stronger plastic wrap). Before continuing to work the dough, sweep off excess flour thoroughly with a flour whisk or wider brush. Cut out flowers with a cookie cutter. Bake: 165 °C hot air, 10 to 12 minutes).

Spread half of the cooled cookies with salmon paste, mustard, liptauer or spread of your choice and place a second flower on top. Using the sausage and cheese cookie cutter, cut out one half of each. Finely spread the stuck-together cookie with spread and place the sausage and cheese halves on top. Decorate as desired with parsley, olives, peppers, or similar.

Preparation Tip:

Use different types of sausage and cheese and you'll have a great variety of flowers for your party!
