Cottage cheese and oil
Pastry (1 crust)

7 oz Ground hazelnuts or almonds
- (200 g)
3 1/2 oz Sugar (100 g)
4 dr Bitter almond extract;
- up to 5 dr
1 Egg white
1/2 Egg yolk
3 tb Water; up to 4 tb

1/2 Egg yolk; beaten with:
1 tb Milk
Roll out the pastry to a rectangle 14x18" (35x45 cm).
Filling:
Mix the nuts, sugar, bitter almond extract, egg white, and 1/2 egg
yolk with as much of the water as will give a good spreading
consistency and spread evenly over the pastry with a spatula.
Starting from the longer side, roll up the pastry like a swiss
roll: form the roll into a ring and lay on a greased baking sheet.
Brush with the egg yolk and make regular cuts in the surface 1/4"
(1/2 cm) deep. Bake in a moderately hot (350°F) oven for about
20 minutes.
