About the dish

Small pasties in tin molds with a puff-pastry-like base and airy almond filling, garnished with dough strips in a cross — a typical party pastry in Erken's dessert chapter. The recipe begins on page 525 and continues on page 526.

How to make it

1
Make the dough
Mix the flour with the cognac, water and the egg. Knead in the cold butter to a smooth dough, and let it rest cold for a while.
2
Line the molds
Roll out the dough and line small tin or tartlet molds with it — not too thin. Set a little dough aside for garnish.
3
Almond filling
Whip the egg whites completely stiff and stir in the confectioners' sugar and the blanched, finely ground sweet and bitter almonds.
4
Fill
Place a generous teaspoon of almond filling in each mold.
5
Garnish with dough strips
Roll out the rest of the dough, cut it into narrow strips and lay them in a cross over the filling.
6
Bake
Bake the pasties in a hot oven (about 220 °C (430 °F)) for about 30 minutes, until they are golden brown.

Changes from the original

Quantity indications where the OCR lacked the fraction line have been interpreted as 1/4 kg flour, 1/4 kg butter, 1/4 dl cognac and 1 1/4 dl water. "Blikformer" has been modernized to small muffin or tartlet molds, and the baking temperature is given in degrees.
