RecipesSlices with candied fruit
Quickly prepare the shortcrust pastry to avoid warming the ingredients, and then roll out 3 or 4 strips if you prefer smaller pieces, and bake them on a baking sheet.
Ingredients (what you need)
Dough
250 g all-purpose flour
160 g butter
50 g powdered sugar
3 egg yolks
a pinch of baking powder
Filling
1 large handful of nuts
1 package of raisins (can be soaked in rum)
1 package of other dried fruit (apricots, pineapple, plums, cranberries, candied fruit…)
Additionally
whipped egg whites from 3 eggs
Topping
cooking chocolate
butter
3 tablespoons of hot water
Recipe steps
Quickly prepare the shortcrust pastry to avoid warming the ingredients too much, and roll out 3 or 4 strips if you want smaller pieces. Then bake on parchment paper at around 150°C until they turn golden.
After cooling, spread jam on the foods.
Place finely chopped filling in the center of each strip, as shown in picture 2.
Put the whipped egg whites into a bag and cover the filling.
Place it in the oven at 100°C – we will know it's done once the egg whites begin to turn slightly yellow.
Spread chocolate icing on the cold strips: first break the chocolate into smaller pieces and mix it with butter and hot water on a warm stove – if the mixture is too thick, we can add a little more hot water, it will blend nicely. Note: It’s good to let the slices rest for a couple of days before cutting so that the shortcrust softens.
