Ingredients
All-purpose flour, sugar, butter or margarine (cooking spray), beaten egg (alt. egg-yolk), milk, salt, lemon juice, walnuts, chocolate icing, slivered almonds, roasted seeds, sliced dates etc.
Procedure
Preheat the oven at 200°C – 390°F. Stir together flour and sugar (please note: traditional Polish recipes don't have salt, see links below; optional). Cut in butter. Knead the flour, butter, sugar, with cream (or milk) and yolk (or egg) to smooth dough. Cover the dough and place in a fridge for 30 minutes. Spread out until ¼ inch or so. Pat evenly into greased baking dish (or onto rectangular forms, around 15 x 13 inches) and prick with a fork. Bake in 200°C.
- Chocolate icing
Melt the chocolate in a steam bath, add butter and cream. Mix well. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the baked base of the cake, even out with spatula or a knife and decorate while it's warm.
