Babeczki Orzechowe (Polish Nut Cups) image

These are an old fashioned tart like baked 'cup' with a delightful nut filling and a touch of jam on the bottom. An old favorite that I haven't made for some time - memory fails as to how many tart cups it makes so at this time the servings a guesstimate. . (will be making them soon and come back to add just how many tarts I get) Not having a cook to question for this recipe I use three beaten egg whites for my filling.

Time 35m

Yield 18 tarts, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup butter, plus
3 tablespoons butter
2 3/4 cups pre sifted all-purpose flour
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar (powdered icing sugar)
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs (separated)
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar (powdered icing sugar)
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 ounces walnuts (ground)
1/2 cup jam

Steps:

  • In bowl mix together to make dough - butter, flour, confectioners sugar, egg yolks and vanilla; on floured board roll out dough 1/4 inch thick.
  • Cut out circles to fit into individual tart pans.
  • Bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until nicely golden; cool.
  • Prepare filling - separate eggs beat egg yolks with sugar and vanilla for five minutes.
  • Beat egg whites (stiff) - fold the stiffly beaten whites and walnuts in small portions alternately and mix slightly
  • Spread some jam on the bottom of each cup and fill with the filling mixture.
  • Bake another 15 minutes ( I bake this part at a lower temperature - but ovens do vary) They are baked much like tarts.
