You Will Need (13 things)

  • 600 g Flour
  • 170 g Sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 7 tbsp Honey
  • 450 g Butter
  • 200 g Cream Cheese
  • ½ tsp Dried lavander Flower
  • 180 ml Sour Cream
  • 3 tbsp Powdered Sugar
  • 400 ml Double Cream
  • 2 tbsp Pumpkin Jam
  • 100 g Powdered Sugar

Steps (5 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    For 30+ smaller crusts:

    600 g flour, 170 g sugar, 3 whole eggs, a teaspoon of baking soda, a pinch of salt, 4 tablespoons of honey, 50 g of butter.

    Melt sugar, butter and honey over a low heat, stirring constantly. Whisk 3 whole eggs separately with a fork. Gradually add a warm mass of honey to the eggs. Mix the dry ingredients and cook the dough with a wet mass of honey. If necessary, add a little flour. Divide the dough into 8 equal balls of 100 g each. Immediately roll out 1 ball on a floured surface and bake the first crust on an overturned baking tray (20 x 30 cm). Bake for 5 minutes at 200°C; not a second longer. We cut the crust into two equal parts, so we immediately got 16 crusts, but then we reduced the crust even more; so we inserted the ends as additional crusts and thus exceeded the number of 30+ crusts.

  2. 2

    Lavender filling:

    200 g cream cheese, 200 ml double cream, 3 tablespoons honey and half a teaspoon of dried lavender flowers. Whisk the double cream lightly. Mix cream cheese, honey and lavender, then add that mixture in double cream and stir a little more.

  3. 3

    Pumpkin filling:

    180 ml of sour cream, 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of jam (pumpkin, orange and ginger; homemade jam from last year, but I don't remember the recipe at the moment

  4. 4

    Topping:
    400 g butter and 100 g powdered sugar. Whisk and add a pinch of cocoa for color. We also used homemade fondant.

    Side note:

    Coat the crusts alternately with lavender filling and pumpkin filling.
