Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
- Combine the dough ingredients in a large bowl and work into a dough. Roll out the dough, divide it into two portions, and place one portion in the bottom of a pan lined with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff. Mix the butter with the sugar, walnuts, flour, and baking powder. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites and spread the filling over the dough in the pan.
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Cover the filling with the second portion of dough, bake until golden, and let cool.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and stir in the butter. Spread the glaze over the top of the cooled pastry and let set.
Tip: Roll out each half of the dough on parchment paper, using the outline of the pan's base as a guide. Transfer the bottom layer to the pan with the paper attached, then invert the top layer onto the filling and peel off the paper.
