for Red Currant Torte, the Orange and Coffee Tortes are following soon.

1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 to 3 large tbl sp sugar
150 gr unsalted butter
vanilla
cinnamon
filling:
1 1/2 ltr pureed red currents
250 gr sugar
(1) Prepare pastry by rubbing the butter into the flour. Add all the
other ingredients. Blend. Press into a pie dish and decorate edges. Bake
blind in a slow oven 375 for 25 minutes or until golden. Prick with a
fork to see if done.
(2) Filling: puree red currants, add sugar and cook for 10 minutes
then cool. Poor over cold pastry case.
NOTE: The filling will improve if you let it stand for 1 day.
Happy cooking...
