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