Linzer is the textbook example of 'shortcrust pastry'. The secret is rubbing cold butter into flour: fat coats flour particles, preventing moisture from forming a gluten network. This makes the dough crumbly and short, not elastic.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix flour, icing sugar, salt, cinnamon, baking powder. Rub in cold butter quickly until wet sand texture.

Tip: Use fingertips not palms to avoid overheating butter.
2 ✓

Add grated (well squeezed!) apple and egg yolk. Knead quickly into ball.

Tip: If apple is wet, it soaks dough and loses shortness.
3 ✓

Wrap, refrigerate at least 30 mins.

Tip: Resting firms butter, making dough rollable.
4 ✓

Roll to 3-4 mm, cut shapes (base and hole). Bake 180°C 10-12 mins until just colouring.

Tip: Linzer is soft when hot, firming up cooling.
5 ✓

Once cool, sandwich with chocolate spread, sprinkle with shavings.

Tip: Softens perfectly by next day from filling.
