Ingredients

Kitchen Stuff

1 mixer
1 baking paper
1 rolling pin

Directions

Preheat the oven to 220 ° C.
Beat the eggs with a mixer lightly.
Add the granulated sugar and the salt during spooning. Keep on patting until light yellow egg foam is formed. This takes approx. 8 min.
Sift the self-raising flour above it and carefully fold it.
Divide the batter over a griddle covered with parchment paper. Spread the batter to a square of approx. 40 x 40 cm using a spatula.
Fry in about 8 minutes until golden brown and done. The biscuit is cooked when it springs back when you push it gently. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Put the pistachio nuts in a small oven dish and roast them for approx. 8 minutes at 180 ° C. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a plate. Finely chop the nuts.
Put the butter in a bowl and whisk in 5 minutes. Add the icing sugar in 2 parts and beat for another 5 minutes to an airy butter cream.
Beat the espresso powder and cardamom through.
Place the biscuit with the baking paper on top of the work surface and carefully remove the baking paper. Cut out 4 squares of 16 x 16 cm.
Brush each square with ¼ of the buttercream and sprinkle with ¼ of the chopped pistachios. Put the 4 slices carefully together.
Sprinkle the worktop and half of the marzipan with some icing sugar and roll out into a rag (approx. 3 mm thick). Cut out a square of 16 x 16 cm.
Place on the slices of biscuits with buttercream and press gently. Put in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Carefully slice the cake into 4 x 4 cm square petit fours with a sharp knife.
Cross the rest of the marzipan flowers or other figurines and decorate the petit fours.
