Small Fruit
Bread Loaves
(German Christmas bread)
Submitted
by: Barbiel |
3-1/2 tablespoons each of raisins,
dried apricots and hazelnuts
3 tablespoons rum
1/2 cup, plus 2 teaspoons softened butter
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar
2 eggs |
1 cup, plus 4 teaspoons flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of cinnamon
a pinch of salt
1/2 cup, plus 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
|
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Rinse the raisins and apricots with
hot water, drain and towel dry. Chop the apricots into small
pieces. Coarsely chop the hazelnuts. Place the raisins, apricots
and hazelnuts in a bowl, pour in the rum, cover and set aside.
Whip the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Little by
little, add the eggs, the flour mixed with the baking powder,
the cinnamon and salt. Beat vigorously by hand for 10 minutes or
about 4 minutes on low speed with a mixer. Stir in well the
mixture of rum, fruit and nuts. Cover baking sheet with baking
paper. Use two teaspoons to drop 40 small scoops of dough. Place
the baking sheet on the middle rack and bake until golden brown,
about 15 minutes. Sift the powdered sugar, add the lemon juice
and, if necessary, a few drops of water to form a thick icing.
Remove the small "bread loaves" from the baking sheet and place
on a cookie rack. Ice while still warm. Makes 40 small breads. |
