Slice n Bite

Pastry yang berselimut meringue kacang ini, gue dapet dari buku jadul nyokap, yang judulnya "Cakes and Baking" karangan Moya Maynard, mantan editor majalah Living. Moya Maynard ini terkenal dengan resep-resep modifikasinya yang ekonomis. Di buku ini terdapat pula berbagai macam resep praktis cake, cookies, pastry dan roti bikinan rumah.



Kalo kita perhatiin, penampakannya seperti cookies yah, tapi di dalam buku ini, si "Nut Slice" masuk dalam dalam kategory pastry. Karena memang adonan dasarnya menggunakan adonan untuk kulit pie (which is termasuk kategori pastry, selain quiche dan tarts). Cucok banget buat temen minum kopi di sore hari...YUMMY!!

Resepnya sendiri gue modifikasi dengan rasa dan aroma moka. Bikinnya? Guampang!

75 gr margarine/butter
50 gr soft light brown sugar
