Hungarian Tart

Another tried and true recipe from my mum for HUNGARIAN TART. It's basically a buttery shortbread with a strawberry jam filling. I'm not exactly sure if this is traditionally Hungarian but it's what we've always called it! 

Ingredients:

125g butter (softened)

2 tablespoons oil

1 egg 

2 teaspoons baking powder (sifted)

2 tablespoons caster sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

2 cups plain flour (sifted)

Strawberry jam

Method:

• Preheat oven to 180°C. Line or grease a baking tray.
• Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer.
• Add oil, vanilla and egg (lightly beat the egg first). Stir to combine.
•  Mix the flour with baking powder and gradually add to the mixture. Stir with a spoon until a dough forms.
• Lay half of the dough on to the baking tray. Flatten it out so you have one even layer.
• Spread the strawberry jam over this.
• Use a coarse grater to grate the remaining dough over the top.
• Bake for approximately 20 minutes until lightly brown on top.
• Allow it to cool and then slice into squares.

Enjoy! Na xo
