w to do it

Mix the ingredients for the dough and leave to rest in the fridge for half an hour. Then prepare the filling and molds. The opening ones are better than the knockers. So that the nests do not stick, you will help yourself with a little trick. You make a dough ball, which you wrap well in icing sugar. Then put it in a mold and squeeze out the hive. Fill with a spoon and cover with a bulacing side of the sponge cake. Stand, open the mold and carefully remove.

It is easier to manufacture with openable molds. For sloths, a good alternative is a bought mixture for dough.

Our tip
If
you do not want to laboriously measure the raw materials for dough, try the already prepared mixture for unbaked cookies. You will be pleasantly surprised by the result. Make a simplified filling from eggnog, butter and sugar. The production process is the same.
