Ingredients

250 grams/8 oz flour

175 grams/ 6 oz white caster sugar (normal sugar)

salt

225 grams/ 7 oz butter (cold or melted)

100 grams/ 3,5 oz dried apricots

50 grams/ 2 oz flaked almonds

2 tablespoons ginger syrup

1 tablespoon milk

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit)

Combine the flour, sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix the butter into it.

If you use cold butter, cut it up first and use a pastry cytter or two knives to cut the butter in fine pieces.

With cool hands, knead the butter and flour together and gather it up into a firm dough ball. (You can also use a food processor)

Finely chop the apricots and mix them with the almonds and ginger syrup.

Grease a 24sm/10 inch round cake dish with butter.

Press half the dough into the dish.

Spread the apricot over the top. Leave a bit of room for the rest of the dough and to keep the filling from sticking to the dish.

Roll out the other half of the dough on a lightly floured work surface to the same size as the dish.place over the filling and press the edges together.

Use the blunt side of a knife, score a crisscross pattern on the top and brush it with the milk.

bake the butter cake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until it's cooked and golden brown.

allow it to cool and slice the cake into wedges before serving.
