Linzer Torte:


Bake in a square pan.

Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
3/8 lb. butter (the real thing) [1.5 sticks]
1 cup almonds, ground (I buy whole ones & chop 'em in a hand chopper)
3 hard-boiled egg yolks
1 raw egg
3/4 cup softened semi-sweet chocolate chips
raspberry preserves

Mix flour, sugar and softened butter. Add egg yolks, raw egg (beat), softened chocolate (melt in double-boiler), and finally stir in almonds (mix well). Put batter in lightly-greased (butter) baking pan, not more than 1.5" high. Smooth batter, spread with raspberry preserves, and lattice with remaining batter (remember to leave a little in the bowl for this step -- it doesn't take much). Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
