nut triangles
for dessert or as a sweet snack inbetween
Ingredients:
(for the dough)
| 1 1/2 cups flour |
| 1 teaspoon Backpulver |
| 3/4 cup sugar |
| 2 packages vanilla sugar |
| 2 eggs |
| 3/4 cup margarine or butter |
(for the topping)
| 1 cup margarine |
| 1 cup sugar |
| 2 packages of vanilla sugar |
| 4 tablespoons of water |
| 1 cup ground hazelnuts |
| 1 cup chopped hazelnuts |
| 1 cup of apricot marmalade/jam |
| 1 package of chocolate coating |
Preparation:
Mix dough ingredients together with the bread dough beaters of your mixer. Spread/roll the dough out on a baking tin. Since the dough is quite sticky we find it easiest if you roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper. It is also possible to spread the dough with a table spoon which you dip into cold water again and again.
The topping can now be prepared. Combine the margarine, sugar, vanilla sugar and water in a pot an warm slowly until all ingredients have melted. Remove from heat and stir in the ground and chopped hazelnuts.
Spread the apricot marmalade on the dough. Then spread the topping, which should have cooled off somewhat by now, on top of the marmalade.
Bake 20-30 minutes in a preheated oven at 350° - 375°F.
After baking cut into triangles while still warm. Coat triangles with ready-made chocolate topping.
Highlights:
| These nut-triangles are quick (except when trying to spread out the dough) and easy to make. |
| They are very fattening and tasty; so do not make them when on a diat. |
| It's impossible to eat just one! |
