Ingredients:
For the shortcrust pastry:- 300 g of flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 130 g sugar
- 1 pack of vanilla sugar
- 2 egg (s)
- 130 g butter, soft
For painting:
- 6 tbsp jam, (apricot jam)
For the topping: (nut mass)
- 200 g butter
- 5 tbsp water or rum
- 200 g sugar, brown
- 1 pack of vanilla sugar
- 400 g hazelnuts, ground, walnuts, almonds (as desired)
For the glaze:
- 200 g cake icing, (chocolate icing)
Preparation
- Make a dough from the ingredients. The dough is relatively soft, so you can distribute it nicely on the sheet.
- Butter the bottom of a fat drip tray and dust with flour. Alternatively, place a baking frame in the tray.
- Press the dough in evenly (I always do it by hand, it doesn't really work with a rolling pin).
- Spread the jam thinly on the dough.
- Melt butter, water, sugar and vanilla sugar in a saucepan (do not boil) so that the sugar dissolves. Add nuts / almonds and mix well. For nuts, I take a mixture of the varieties that my pantry produces.
- Spread the nut mixture evenly over the jam.
- Bake in the oven preheated to 175 ° top / bottom heat for approx. 30-35 minutes (middle bar for me).
- Let it cool on the tin best cut to corners overnight and the next day. Either just dip the tips or the sides in the chocolate glaze.
- Due to the brown sugar in the nut mass, the nut corners have a slight caramel taste.
