Preparation time 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 30 g BOBEI
• 120 ml plant-based milk (e.g., almond/cashew milk)
• 150 g wheat flour
• 150 g spelt flour (type 630)
• 1 sachet baking powder
• 100 g vegan margarine
• 80 g xylitol (alternatively coconut blossom sugar)
• 1 sachet vanilla sugar
• 1 pinch of salt

  • 1–2 tbsp water

  For the chocolate glaze

  • 200 g powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp hot water
  • 1–1 ½ tbsp cocoa powder

Preparation

1. Prepare BOBEI
   Whisk BOBEI with 120 ml plant-based milk and let it swell for approx. 2 minutes.
2. Prepare dry ingredients
   Sift the wheat flour, spelt flour, and baking powder and set aside.
3. Cream the margarine
   Cream the vegan margarine with xylitol, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
4. Mix the dough
   Add the swollen BOBEI mixture to the margarine mixture and mix well. Then gradually work in the flour-baking powder mixture and approx. 100 ml plant-based milk until a smooth, malleable dough forms.
5. Shape the Amerikaner
   Fill the dough into a piping bag with a round nozzle and pipe small mounds onto a greased, floured baking sheet. Alternatively, you can use parchment paper.
   Carefully smooth the peaks with the moistened back of a tablespoon.
6. Bake
   Bake in a preheated oven at 165 °C (fan oven) for approx. 20 minutes. If not using a fan, bake at 180 °C.
7. Glaze
   Let them cool briefly after baking. Then turn the Amerikaner over onto their flat side and spread with lemon glaze, chocolate glaze, or half and half.
8. Let dry
   Let the glaze set completely - and then enjoy.

PureRaw Tips

For more lemon freshness:
Add some finely grated organic lemon zest to the lemon glaze.

For more chocolate flavor:
Mix the chocolate glaze with a high-quality cocoa powder. This gives it a beautifully rich color and a fuller flavor.

For children's birthdays:
Glaze some of the Amerikaner completely white and decorate subtly with colorful sprinkles.

For the classic look:
The glaze belongs on the flat side of the Amerikaner. The rounded side remains on the bottom.

To prepare in advance:
Amerikaner taste best fresh, but can also be baked the day before. Once the glaze has dried, store them in an airtight container.
