Linzer Torte
This is based on a Jacques Pepin recipe of the same name. It’s an elegant and scrumptious dessert that’s simpler to make than it looks.
Linzer Cookies (Dorie Greenspan)
This cookie recipe for Linzer Sables require a little effort, but they are so beautiful and tasty. The recipe is from one of my favourite cookbooks, “Baking: From My Home to Yours”, by Dorie Greenspan. For a simpler cookie, omit the cutouts, although it does make beautiful cookies. You can dust these with confectioner’s sugar just before serving. Both dough and cookies freeze well (without the sugar dusting). Dough requires 45 minute chilling time.
Viennese Biscuits
soft melt in the mouth biscuits, I suppose originally from Vienna. So simple and economical, can be made in half an hour
Dobosh Torte (Seven Layer Torte)
A friend shared this recipe with me it’s from the Maida Heatter’s Book of Great Desserts. It makes a nice Holiday or dinner party dessert
Butterhorns Aka Rugelach / Rugulach / Snails / Schnecken
One of my favorite cookies of all time, these are fabulous warm from oven, but also keep well in an airtight container. My Hungarian/Austrian Grandmom called these “Butterhorns”, an aunt on the other side called her version “Schnecken” and I have seen versions of this also under “Rugelach” or “Rululach”. It really does not matter what they are called, they are AWESOME!!!! (Chill time not included)
