Linzer torte

"Linzer torte is an Austrian raspberry pie: my grandmother was brought up near Linz so it’s close to my heart. Hazelnuts are obligatory in the crust; toasting them isn’t, so if you can get hold of ready-ground nuts, I’ll forgive you. The hazelnuts make the crust dark in colour and fragrant in taste. I’ve made this with a sort of half-lattice: the filling makes it difficult to flip the pastry strips up and weave them as you should do. So save your tidy lattice for a set filling – I’ll stick to, and recommend you do, hotchpotch weave lattice for the sticky filling."
