Linzertorte is a holiday classic in German traditions, often eaten at Christmas.
Linzertorte is a very short, crumbly pastry, covered with a filling of red currant jam or thick raspberry jam. It is covered by a lattice of dough strips. The dough is rolled out in very thin strips of pastry and arranged to form a criscross design on top of the preserves. The pastry is brushed with lightly beaten egg whites, baked, and sometimes decorated with sliced almonds.
Taste wonderful with some tea, brings out all the wonderful spices. What a way to celebrate the holidays!!
The best thing about a linzertorte is, you don't have to eat all of it at once. You can linger on it for weeks. The longer a linzertorte sits, the better the flavor.Handmade.
