Reviews
I loved how easy this was. The base pastry was tender and flaky and the topping a bit custard-like. I used sliced almonds send almond extract in the icing. It was delicate and delicious. Next time I may pipe a ribbon of seedless raspberry jam.
I thought I had lost this recipe till I went through my TOH recipe box. Our church has a predominantly Danish heritage. I made this for coffee hour and everyone raved about it and said it brought back memories. It is easy to make and all age groups liked it. I highly recommend it.
