It’s time for another Linzer torte. A true classic I’m sure many of you know from their grandmother’s. A flavourful, nutty pastry dough with a delicious fruity plum and apricot filling covered by the typical lattice of thin dough strips. There are different regional variations, mine is baked with a darker pastry dough and some spices. I chose a tart tin this time, but you can also make several small Linzer tartlets, for example. You can vary the spices to taste and you are also free to choose the shape and decoration. User generated recipes have not been re-tested by Kenwood.
