Essen, Germany - 30th July 2010

By: Apperveilchen

Some of the toyvoyagers here like to cook or tr new food and want to make some. Our host told us we could make something nice but we'd all have to help. We, that is all the tvs that arrived last week: Jelle, and TravelingTuffy and Crush who's been here for a while and I.

We looked through some books and magazines and decided on apricot tarts.
We got out the form and the ingredients.

We measured and added flour, sugar, eggs and butter for the dough.

Plus peeled a line for some more flavor.

We kneded the douhg (the Kitchen Aid did most of the work) and wrapped it to put in the fridge for half an hour.

We prepared the apricots by cutting them in half, taking out the stone and marinating them in orange liquor and powdered sugar. Actually one's supposed to take a special aprocit liquor, but we made do with what we had.

This too has to rest for half an hour.
Meanwhile we made the filling, preheated the oven and oiled the form.
Then we took out the dough and made the bottom.

We baked it for 15 min and then added the apricots

and the filling of eggs with powdered sugar.

We baked it for another 40 min and now have to wait for it to cool down before we can taste it.
