Bake at 180 ° C for 10 minutes or until a beautiful golden yellow color.
Allow them to cool down.
Preparation of Mallow
Boil the sugar, glucose and the water with the vanilla seeds to 115 ° C.
Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water.
Degrease the bowl of the food processor with the vinegar and rub it well dry.
Beat in the egg white until stiff.
Slowly pour in the warm boiled sugar syrup while beating.
