I am on a linzer torte mission. I have baked a variety of recipes all good
but I am looking for a liner torte that has some height to it like 2 inches
or so and not overly cake like in quality but more tart like dough quality.

I was hoping to surprise someone special at Valentines with a linzer torte

Any tried and true recipes anyone has to offer? Appreciate the posts /e-mail
!!!

thanks

Joan

And how much of this 2 inch thickness is crust/pastry - how much of it
filling?

I would be more concerned with the quality & taste rather than the height.
That said, I suppose you could take a recipe that results in a short torte,
double it, and bake it in a same size pan, perhaps for a bit longer.
I've never made a linzertorte myself, but the reviews on these recipes make
them sound pretty good:
