Altdeutsche Brotchen, also known as German Old-Fashioned Rolls, are a classic pastry from Germany. These soft and fluffy rolls are often enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack, and they pair well with coffee or tea. They are typically made with eggs, butter/margarine, and sugar, which give them a rich, sweet flavor. In this recipe, we add cinnamon, almonds, and orange rind for extra depth of flavor. The raisins are optional, but they can add a nice chewy texture to the rolls.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3.Beat in the eggs, rum, vanilla extract, milk, and cinnamon.
4.Mix in the baking powder and flour until well combined.
5.Stir in the ground almonds, grated orange rind, and raisins (optional).
6.Shape the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
7.Bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
8.Serve warm or at room temperature.
