How to Make Mazurek Migdalowy Or Orzechowy Almond Or Walnut Mazurka

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. While the crust is baking, toast the almonds and walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  8. Let the baked crust cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. Prepare your icing: In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency. Divide icing into bowls and add desired food coloring.
  10. Ice the cooled crust evenly with the icing. Be creative! Consider a simple swirl, or create different colored sections.
  11. Arrange your toasted nuts, jam, and any other desired decorations (candied fruit, marzipan, chocolate) on top of the icing.
  12. Let the icing set completely before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
  13. Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 2-3 weeks.
