Dutch Christmas ring
1pkt flaky pastry
1 cup of Ground Almonds
3/4 cup Sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
mix the last 4 ingredients together in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth and leave in a cool place for at least overnight longer if possible (2days)
Roll out pastry to half cm and (about 12-15cm wide) in a long strip as you want to be able to make it into a circle in the end.
Place the almond mixture in the middle and roll into a sausage then form a circle.
Cook in a preheated oven 220c for about 30 minutes till a nice golden colour. When cool ice with a vanilla plain white icing just pour the icing over the ring then top with cherries, and a little of apricot jam which you add some extra water to, heat and pour over ring. Then eat and enjoy. Merry Christmas
Good one MOM :)
