Method
For best results wash the fruit in the day before. For this wash the blend in warm/hot water for approximately 15mins then drain and leave to dry.
Once the stolen dough has been formed the base is prepared using 2 layers of dough sandwiched together with marzipan or almond paste
For an 18” x 30” tray you will need approximately 2 x 2.5kg pieces of dough. Pin the first piece of dough to 5mm then line the tray. Brush the top of the dough with a little water then top with a 2mm layer of marzipan. Brush the top of the marzipan with a little water, then finish with a further 5mm layer of stolen dough.
Prove then bake at 200C for approximately 30mins.
Once cool and fully set (leave overnight for best result) cut into portions then dip in melted butter with the addition of brandy (or rum essence to lower cost) then roll in Macphie Sweet Snow.
