             then add a bit of sugar on top. You can also use sugar with
             larger grains or other decorational toppings here.

           + Bake on middle rung at 200 C for about 8-10 minutes, until
             they are light brown. If the dough was rolled out very thin,
             they burn very quickly and must be watched closely.
