Linzertorte
Christmas is fast approaching! While waiting for the foie gras method 4, I give you my Linzertorte recipe, revisited to be even more festive! This pie comes from Austria (Linz is an Austrian city) and is very famous in Hungary and Alsace. A crumbly pastry (I warn you because it is really crumbly and tasty!) with hazelnuts and cinnamon, with a red fruit jam interior (raspberries, blueberries…). I suggest a blueberry version to create a starry night sky, but I also put the more traditional one.Â
Ingredients
- 275 g flour
- 210 g butter
- 55 g hazelnut powder
- 55 g sugar
- 1 pinch of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 100 g egg yolks (about 5)
- 1/2 cap of rum (optional)
- 1 jar of blueberry, raspberry, red fruit jam...low in sugar
Instructions
- Place the yolks, cinnamon, hazelnut powder, baking powder, sugar and flour in a food processor.
- Add the cold butter cut into pieces and the rum (if you wish to use it).
- Mix with the "k" until the dough is homogeneous, no more!Â
- Spread on a sheet of parchment paper to a thickness of 2mm. The dough will only rise a little, as there are no whites and just a touch of baking powder.
- Line a circle, square or pie pan with the shape of your choice.Â
- My students in the "tartlet" classes have become pros and this recipe will be no problem for them!Â
- Pour the chosen jam on the pastry base. It is better to use a "home-made" jam low in sugar, or a light commercial one. With a normal jam, the result may be too sweet.
- Spread evenly.Â
- With the remaining dough, cut strips or stars to make this Christmas Linzertorte!Â
- Place the stars on the jam.Â
- Bake for 50 minutes at 175°C. The jam will boil. The dough should be well cooked and golden brown!
- Place on a wire rack and carefully remove from the pan.
- To make a more classic Linzertorte, simply roll out another circle (there is enough dough to make two), then cut strips with a rolling pin. Arrange them on the pastry filled with jam (here raspberries).Then from  pass the roller over the circle to cut the dough.Â
- Cook in the same way, watching the cooking time, to be adapted according to the size of the Linzertorte.Â
- Carefully unpack as the Linzertorte is very crumbly!Â
