Yield: 1 servings
2 1/2 c Flour; sift on pastry board 2 ts Lemon rind; grated
1/2 c Sugar 1/2 c Sugar
2 Egg yolks 2 tb Flour
1 c Butter; softened 4 Egg whites
2 ts Lemon rind; grated 1/2 c Raisins
1 1/2 c Cottage cheese; sieved 1/2 c Almonds; slivered/blanched
4 Egg yolks
Make a well in the center of the flour and put into it the next four
ingredients. Quickly work these ingredients into the flour to make a
smooth dough, adding a bit more flour if needed, to facilitate handling. On
a floured board, roll out the dough into a 11X17" rectangle. Line a baking
sheet with the dough and bake it in a moderate oven (350 degrees F>), for
about 15 minutes, or until it is about half done. Let it cool.
Add the 4 egg yolks and lemon rind to the cottage cheese. Beat the egg
whites until very stiff, gradually adding the sugar, beginning when they
have slightly stiffened. Fold the beaten egg whites into the cheese and
spread the cooled pastry shell with the cheese filling. Sprinkle the cake
with the raisins and almonds.
Bake in a very slow oven (250 degrees F.) about 45 minutes. Let cool and
cut into large squares.
