The days of sweetening with carnival treats are coming. We cheer up the masquerades who await us at our doorstep every year with happy faces, and we prepare them the best brittle flancates that just melt in the mouth...
"Lost is greasy around the mouth," they say. This year, let's take a breather and, in addition to doughnuts, also prepare the best brittle flancates ever. Covered with chocolate they will be even sweeter.

Procedure for brittle flanges:
Sift the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the middle of the pile. Add half of the softened butter, sour cream, eggs, a pinch of salt, vanilla sugar and sugar. Mix everything well and add rum and grated lemon peel to the mixture. It is best to choose an organic lemon. Knead the dough from all the ingredients, then cover it and let it rest for at least half an hour. Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to a thickness of at least 4 millimeters and cut it into rhombuses or rectangles with a rolling pin or a knife. Cut a few more lines along the middle of each rectangle. Fry the flanks in hot oil. Drain the baked flancakes on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar, but you can also cover them with sweet real chocolate melted over steam, into which 50g of the remaining softened butter is mixed into a foam.
