Although I don't have a huge sweet tooth like the rest of my family does, raspberry linzer torte is something I could eat at any meal of the day.
I used to sit in my parents' kitchen for their catering/wholesale foods business and watch my mom bust out about 20 of these bad boys in an afternoon. The dough for this torte is absolutely delicious. Of course I would get scolded for eating too much of it (raw eggs and all), but I know my mom silently agrees with me.
Raspberry Linzer Torte:
2 9" tarts
DOUGH:
Proccess 2 c. walnuts fine
Mix together:
3 c. flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 c. fine walnuts
Beat w/ paddle 3/4 lbs. butter, scrape often
Add:
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
Then add flour mix
ASSEMBLY:
Spray 2 tart pans with removable bottoms
Press dough into fluted sides and bottom
Mix in stainless bowl with whisk:
1 1/2 c. raspberry jam
1 1/2 c. plum jam or red currant jelly
Divide jam equally in tarts
Roll out ropes of dough, 6 each tart, 3 horizontal and 3 vertical, pinch off ends
Sprinkle with sliced almonds
Bake at 375 for 60 minutes
I'm looking around my kitchen and realizing I could totally make one of these RIGHT NOW. I probably should, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteSo simple, so delicious. The one pictured looks flawless!
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful but as it's a recipe that involves making and assembling the dough- I know I would never be able to succeed in recreating it!
