Linzer Schnitten

Ingredients:
400 g flour
1 1/2 tsp Backing powder
90 gr grated walnuts
120 g confectioners sugar
250 g butter, cut into small cubes
1 tsp cinammon
2 pinches of ground cloves
4 Tbsp milk
margarine for the tray
350 g red currant jelly
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp milk

Sieve the flour together with the backing powder. Beat the flour mixture together with the confectioners sugar, butter, cinammon, cloves and milk quickly into smooth dough. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 mins. Preheat oven to 175°C/350°F/Gas 2. Roll 2/3 of the dough out onto a greased baking tray (approx 0.5 cm thick-1/5 inch). On a flouered surface (so I assume) roll out the rest of the dough and cut into fine stripes. Place onto a tray and put in the freezer for 10 mins. Slightly warm the jelly, stir until smooth and spread on top of the base. Place the dough stripes diagonally on top, left to right and right to left, creating a lattice pattern. Mix the egg yolk with the remaining milk and brush onto the strips. Bake approx. 30 mins. remove from oven and allow to cool, before cutting into squares of approx 4x4 cm (1.5x1.5 inches)



Hope this is what you're looking for.


edited to change measurement from German EL to English Tbsp!

OH MY GOD! That is it! I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to find that... finding this site is a godsend.. I have tried other sites but this one in two days has given me more recipes that I remember than all the others... Both my mom and sister are passed away, so I had no one to ask or help me remember the recipes ( I was the baby ha ha, so a lot of recipes I did not get translated.. my sister was 17 yrs older! needless to say I was a surprise!). Big hugs to YOU!!

Keep your requests coming - there are lots of us here who have tons of German recipes just sitting on our shelves. You need only ask.

EL is the same as Tbsp in English.

You're welcome! It wasn't difficult to find just looked it up on German Google and translated it. Hope it tastes how you remember it.

I am German so fortunately the translator is in my head!

If you need something translated you can e-mail me at
sylvie 77 at hotmail dot com. No spaces, just don't want it showing up here as a link, which it would if I typed it properly. I'll see what I can do, might take a while though if it's quite a bit.
