Title: Smettanick
Categories: Pastry, Tart
Yield: 8 -12
MMMMM----------------------------CAKE---------------------------------
1 1/2 c Flour; sifted
1/2 c Butter
1 Egg yolk; well beaten
1/2 ts Salt
MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
1 1/2 c Almonds; blanched and ground
1 Egg yolk; unbeaten
2 tb Jam
2 tb Powdered sugar
Thick sour cream
Blend the flour, butter, and salt together until the mixture is
mealy. Add the egg yolk and knead into a smooth dough, adding a few
drops of ice water if needed. Beat with a steak beater until the
dough blisters. Roll very thin and cut into 3" squares.
Work the powdered sugar into the almonds, adding a few drops of cream
and egg yolk as needed. Add the jam gradually. When the mixture is
finished, it should be a paste. Place a spoonful of the filling in
the center of a square pastry, brush the edges with cold water, place
another square on top, and seal the edges by fluting them. Brush the
tarts with egg white, sprinkle with sugar, and bake at 450°F until
brown.
