Linzer Tart
Today we have a special recipe, Linzer Tart, this recipe is one of the oldest baked recipes of the world, that dates from the 17th century. This recipe comes from Linz on the Danube in the region of Upper Austria, and has been part of the Christmas traditions for generations, therefore to welcome the first advent Sunday I decided to please my husband with this Christmas delight.
