I won't make this for my birthday. That would be asking for it.

Old Tart
Dough:
100 grams flour
50 grams butter
0,5 deciliter water
a pinch of salt

Filling:
200 grams mascarpone (or quark*)
150 grams honey (fluid)
2 beaten eggs
cinnamon
chopped walnuts, almonds, raisins and/or figs*

Mix the dough, knead it thoroughly and use a rolling pin to flatten it. Cover a greased up low baking tin with the dough. (You can also use 4 - 5 sheets of puff pastry)

Mix the mascarpone, honey and cinnamon with the eggs and other ingredients (your choice of nuts, etc). Put the filling on top of the dough and put in pre-heated oven for 45 minutes on 200^oC until it's light brown. Eat luke warm or cold.



*I made it without figs and couldn't find mascarpone. I suspect it will have a stronger taste with both of those ingredients. For my first try at baking, the result was not too bad;) I'm going to try again without the almonds, and maybe a bit more cinnamon. (I wish they'd been more specific)

Please let me know if the translations of ingredients or instructions are confusing. These are not words I use on a daily basis;) Recipe from ancient Rome, apparently.

Om nom, that sounds delicious. And hey, the result looks more than appetizing to me! Am not a fan of almonds in my food so I probably would've limited myself to the raisins and honey too ;).

It's hard to judge the result after being so involved in the baking process. I guess I had expected more from the massive amount of honey that went in there. I've decided almonds are overrated, they didn't add any flavour, just consistency;) I found Mascarpone in the supermarket this morning, and am curious how that will taste. I will definitely try this again soon.

It looks okay to me, especially for a first try. *thumbs up* :D

Yay, thank you! I hope we can find some food that you can eat during our marathonweekend. I started a shoppinglist already, but I haven't a clue what ingredients you are allowed to use. If possible we could stop by the bio-shop when I pick you up, it's close to the station. I think that's the best place to find pure food.
This baking thing might be something I could invest more time in;)

I'm sure we'll manage. The most important thing is that we avoid cowmilk. The bio-shop sounds awesome. We've got one over here, and I do stop by there regularly. :3
