Pedoulas-style Pasta Flora - Recipe image

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups 00 flour, sifted
3⁄4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter
4 egg yolks
4 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons baking powder
A pinch of salt
1 cup jam or cherry preserve

METHOD

Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Beat the butter in a separate bowl. In a bowl, combine the butter, egg yolks, sugar, baking powder, water, salt, and flour.
Mix everything together. Press 3⁄4 of the dough into a floured tart pan, spreading it evenly around the base and sides. Add the jam on top.
Using a knife or cookie cutter, cut shapes or strips from the remaining 1⁄4 of the dough to decorate the Pasta Flora. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 35 to 40 minutes.
