Linzer Torte image

Linzer Torte is a holiday classic in the Austrian, Hungarian, Swiss, German and Tyrolean traditions, often prepared for Christmas. The recipe for this rich dessert has been known since the late 1600s and is thought to have originated in Linz, Austria. A copy from 1696 can be found at the Vienna Stadt-und Landesbibliothek. In the 1850s, an Austrian traveler by the name of Franz Hoelzlhuber allegedly brought the Linzer Torte to Milwaukee, from where the recipe spread over the United States. PS Let common sense be your guide when turning on the oven to pre-heat.

This Linzer torte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the filling.

This Linzer torte was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my Linzer torte, but it didn't turn out at all like the picture. It was a waste of time and ingredients.

This Linzer torte was a disaster! The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny. I would not recommend this recipe.

The crust on this Linzer torte was a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I think I would try a different crust recipe next time.

The Linzer torte was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The only thing I would change is to add a little more almond extract to the filling.
