directions

Step 1

Mix together the butter, sugar and vanilla sugar in a food processor.

Step 2

Add the flour, salt, cinnamon, star anise and nutmeg all at the same time, then continue mixing in the food processor until smooth.

Step 3

Roll the batter into a ball and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 205°C (400°F).

Step 5

On a clean, dry work surface, roll out the batter with a rolling pin to 1/2 cm thick.

Step 6

Cut out circles in the cookie batter using a pastry cutter that is 3 cm in diameter.

Step 7

Arrange the circles on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Bake in the oven at 205°C (400°F) for 7 minutes, or until the cookies begin to colour. Let cool to room temperature (if you are making the cookies ahead of time, place them in a room-temperature metal box).

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix together the gelatin and cold water, then set aside.

Step 10

Put the yogurt in a large bowl and set aside.

Step 11

Open the vanilla pod and scrape out the pulp.

Step 12

In a double boiler, bring the cream and vanilla pulp to a simmer.

Step 13

Add the gelatin and sugar, then stir with a whisk.

Step 14

Slowly pour the gelatine mixture onto the yogurt and combine with a spatula.

Step 15

Pour the preparation into 24 small silicone molds (each with a capacity of about 1 tbsp. (15 ml)), then let the cream settle in the fridge.

Step 16

Building the dessert: Turn out the pannacotta then place a portion onto each shortbread cookie. Top with a tiny bit of bitter orange marmalade, then serve immediately to your guests.
