Briskel – Black and White Pastry

A great cake recipe for any occasion:

Sift confectioners’ sugar and stir through light butter. Knead in the flour. Divide the dough. Darken half of it with the cocoa.

Roll out light and dark dough not too thinly on sugar, that rectangular dough sheets are formed (maybe cut off). Lay the pattern. To do this, place the two sheets of dough on top of each other and roll them both up together. Roll in sugar and rest in the refrigerator for one night. The following day, cut into slices not too thick (0, 5 cm) and place on a baking sheet.

Or: Cut light and dark dough into thin strips (as wide as high). Place one light and one dark strip alternately, first on top of each other, then on top of each other, so that a checkerboard pattern is formed in the cross-section. Turn the dough cuboid in sugar to the other side and leave to cool overnight. Now cut into slices not too thick (0, 5 cm). Place on a baking tray.

Or: Form an even roll from the dark dough, roll in light dough. Continue as above.

Baking time: 10-15 min. Temperature: 180 °C -200 °C
