Time: 12pm - 3:30pm

Cost: $150 per single entry

PLEASE READ ALL CLASS POLICIES BELOW CLASS DESCRIPTION BEFORE MAKING YOUR PURCHASE. 

With the first recorded recipe dating back to the mid-1600s, Linzertorte is a long-standing classic with a delightful old-world appearance. Linzer cookies, modern cousins of the original, are perhaps more familiar these days. These peek-through cookies filled with jam are often seen in holiday treat boxes and with heart-shaped centers for Valentine’s Day.

In this class, you will learn how to make the delicate Austrian dough that makes Linzertorte and cookies so famously delicious. Using Barton Springs Mill’s stoneground flour (ground on mills from Austria, in fact!) makes this experience even more authentic and flavorful.

Come for the experience, and go home with knowledge of food science, pastry-history, new recipes, a few bags of stoneground flour perhaps, and, of course, your homemade tasty treats!

BYOB is fine by us for participants 21+ 🍻

Things to look forward to:

• Have an opportunity to work with our own fresh stone-milled flour

• Learn about the food science of baking

• Take home recipes developed for our organic, fresh-stone-milled grains

• Tour the mill with our Education Director

• Purchase BSM products at a class-exclusive 15% discount

A little bit about your instructor:
After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from the University of Texas at Austin, Jessica’s fascination with food science led her to further pursue her education in pastry school at FERRANDI in Paris, France. She spent her internship working in the Michelin starred pastry kitchen at the palace hotel Four Seasons George V in Paris, after which she received her diploma in French patisserie and bread baking in 2011. Working for over a decade in bakeries and pastry kitchens in central Texas, she is well-versed in both French and American pastry technique. Now as a mother to 3 small children, Jessica has established her own organic cottage bakery, is passionate about using quality local ingredients, and loves teaching and sharing her pastry knowledge.
