Butterkuchen
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 sticks unsalted European butter with high fat content, slightly softened, cut into little pieces
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- Put the flour, salt, 1 cup of the granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
- Pulse until well mixed, then add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the butter pieces.
- Process until the dough comes together in a ball.
- Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper that is as big as a baking sheet.
- Roll out the dough on the floured parchment paper.
- It should be about 12 by 18 inches and about 1/8 inch thick.
- You will have to work quickly, because the butter will get too soft.
- If the dough gets too soft and sticky, put it back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar, the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and the remaining cinnamon over the dough.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from the oven, and, using a sharp knife, cut in little squares, about 1 inch or a little larger.
