Linzer Torte

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. + chilling Bake: 40 min. + cooling YIELD: 2 tortes (8 servings each).
My Austrian grandmother made this nutty jam-filled linzer torte only at Christmastime. So did my mother, and now I'm proud to carry on the tasty tradition. It's a great way to end a holiday meal. —Jeanne Siebert, Salt Lake City, Utah

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups ground hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Dash ground cloves
  • 1 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1-1/3 cups seedless raspberry jam
  • Confectioners' sugar, optional

Directions

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add eggs and lemon zest; stir until mixture forms a ball. Divide into fourths. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until chilled.
  • 2. Remove 2 portions of dough from refrigerator; press each into an ungreased 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Spread 2/3 cup jam over each.
  • 3. Between 2 sheets of lightly floured waxed paper, roll 1 portion of remaining dough into a 10x6-in. rectangle. Cut six 1-in.-wide strips; arrange in a lattice design over jam. Repeat with remaining dough (return dough to the refrigerator if needed).
  • 4. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly and crust is browned. Cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.
