directions

  • Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160°C, and lightly grease a 23cm springform flan pan.
  • Place flour, butter, nuts and icing sugar in a food processor and process until well-combined, add egg yolks and water and process until the ingredients just come together.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
