HUNGARIAN TARTS BY YASMEEN
- 250 g butter
- 1 cup castor sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- pinch salt
- ¼ cup oil
- 2 eggs
- 3½ cups sifted cake flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- jam, to taste (I used about 6 tablespoons)
- icing sugar, for decoration
Cream the butter, sugar, oil and vanilla essence until a pale white colour, add eggs and beat some more.
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Make a soft dough.
Layer ¾ of the dough on a baking tray.
Spread the jam, as much as you like, to taste.
Grate the rest of the dough over.
Bake at 180 °C for 20 – 25 minutes.
Sprinkle with icing sugar once done and cut in squares whilst still hot.
