Baking
1. preheat the oven to 180° fan oven
2. stir the chilled dough well after it has rested and fill into small moulds, there should be no more than 50g per mould
3. bake the dough in the oven for approx. 10 minutes, after this time test with a wooden skewer to see if it is baked through. Nothing should stick to the skewer
4. leave the small cakes to cool for 2 hours and then garnish with chocolate and, if you like, decorate with Christmas sugar pearls.
