Roll out approximately ¼ of the dough, 3-4 mm thick. Press out the flowers and lay them on a baking tray covered with baking paper. Roll out the remainder of the dough to the size of the springform baking tin. Butter the baking tin and lay the dough in the form such that an edge approximately 3 cm high is formed.

Bake for 5 minutes in the lower half of an oven preheated to 200°C, then reduce the temperature to 160°C and bake for a further 40 minutes.

Suggestions

It is essential to allow the Linzer Torte to "steep" for 2-3 days before enjoying its full aroma. Flavour the dough according to taste with grated lemon peel, a little powdered clove or vanilla sugar. Instead of raspberry jelly use blackcurrant jelly or jam.
