Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
2
Cut the butter into small cubes, then rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Add the honey, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and eggs. Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
4
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
5
Divide the chilled dough into two equal parts. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a circle about 3-4 mm thick.
6
Place one dough circle onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread evenly with apricot jam and sprinkle with chopped walnuts, if using.
7
Carefully place the second dough circle over the jam layer. Gently prick the top with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
8
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and slicing to serve.
