  • About

A buttery base, spread with whipped egg whites and topped with toasted almonds, this traybake from Graubünden is extremely delicious. A classic Christmas bake in the canton, I think these deserve to be seen on the table year round.

Ingredients

Base

  • 150 g flour
  • 150 g sugar
  • 200 g

Method

Preheat oven to 180° C.

Whisk together the flour, sugar, almonds, cinnamon and salt. Rub in the cold butter until you get crumbs. Add the yolks and mix to form a dough.

Directly on a parchment-lined baking sheet, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1-1.5 cm
