How about these:
For the shortbread:
For the nut topping:
Make the shortcrust pastry. Sift the flour into a bowl and add the butter in flakes to the flour. Add all the remaining ingredients. Knead quickly with your hands, or with a food processor, until smooth.
Roll out the dough on a floured work surface, then place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes.
For the nut topping, melt butter, water, raw cane sugar and vanilla sugar in a saucepan, but do not boil! Then stir in ground and chopped nuts.
Spread the jam (traditionally apricot jam is used) on the shortcrust pastry and spread the nut topping evenly over the top.
Preheat the oven to 175°C conventional heating (top-bottom heat). Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for about 30 – 35 minutes and allow to cool.
Cut the cooled cake into triangles and dip the corners into melted chocolate icing.
