Claudia posted a link to a whole page of Maltese recipes - we had a look, and although we are a few days late, we wanted to try Torta 'ta San Martin, in honour of Saint Martin's Day, which is on the 11th of November. We adapted the recipe, so here's what we did:
Ingredients:
1. Pre-heat the oven to Gas Mk 4 /180c
2. With an electric whisk beat the egg-whites until they are fluffy
3. Add the yolks, sugar, flour and milk
4. Combine them well and then fold in the dates, figs, nuts, and apricots
5. Pour the mixture into the greased tin and bake for 30 minutes.
6. Bring it out, leave it in the tin for ten minutes until it has steamed off and then turn it onto a wire rack to cool.
...this is definitely the most fruit and nuts we have ever put in a bread, and it tastes absolutely delicious!
