About the dish

Margarine was a common alternative to butter in post-war recipes. Each horn is filled with 1 teaspoon of jam.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Make the dough

    Beat the margarine and sugar until white. Add the rest and work quickly to a smooth dough.

  2. 2

    Cut triangles

    Roll the dough out to an oblong rectangle. Cut it into strips about 10 cm wide, and cut the strips into even triangles.

  3. 3

    Fill and roll

    Put 1 teaspoon of jam on each triangle and roll it up into a horn.

  4. 4

    Decorate and bake

    Brush the horns with egg, sprinkle with sugar and blanched, chopped almonds, and bake them.

Changes from the original

Quantities are unchanged; 'del.' is dl. Brushing with egg is interpreted, since the source only says 'brushed'. No baking time or temperature is given.
