Method
How to make the Befana's sweet brooms
Prepare the shortcrust pastry by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and stirring quickly until you get a smooth dough.
Cover with cling film and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Resume the dough, create 3 sausages about 1-2 cm wide and divide them into 5 pieces, which you will then have to shape to create the bristles of the brushes: just create a half oval and then engrave the bristles with the prongs of a fork.
Arrange the biscuits on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 180 ° C for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown, in a preheated convection oven.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool completely, then melt the chocolate, dip the top of the pretzels in it and let them adhere to the biscuits to create the handles (use plenty of chocolate so that they do not come off!).
As they are ready, place your brooms on parchment paper and let it dry completely.
The sweet brooms of the Befana are ready, you just have to serve them.
