Ingredients

Servings: 12
  • 300 g Flour
  • 50 g crushed almonds
  • 1 knife tip Baking Powder
  • 175 g Butter or margarine
  • 150 g Sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 125 g Raspberries and red currants
  • 200 g Strawberries
  • 1 package Pudding powder "Vanilla Flavor"
  • 450 ml Milk
  • 150 g Whole milk yoghurt
  • 7-10 Tbsp finely chopped pistachio kernels
  • 7-10 Tbsp Mint leaves
  • 7-10 Tbsp Grease
  • Baking paper and dried peas

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix flour, almonds and baking powder. Add the fat in flakes, 100 g sugar, salt and the egg yolk and fold in with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Then work into a smooth dough with cool hands. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Grease 6 cake tins (10 cm Ø) and 6 boat tins (approx. 10 x 5 cm). Roll out half of the dough to a thickness of 5-6 mm, cut out pieces the size of the boat forms and line the forms with them. Put baking paper and peas in the baking tin.

  2. 2

    Spread the rest of the dough on the tartlet cups and press them flat. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ gas mark 3) for 20-25 minutes. Remove peas and baking paper after about 15 minutes and continue baking. Let them cool slightly on a cake rack and carefully remove them from the baking tins. Let it cool down. Select the raspberries. Wash the currants and strawberries. Pluck the currants from the panicles with a fork. Clean and quarter the strawberries. Mix pudding powder and 6 tablespoons of milk. Bring the remaining milk and sugar to the boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in the pudding powder. Bring to the boil again while stirring.
