Step 1
Cream with a mixer, sugar and eggs until sugar is dissolved. Add softened butter and vanilla extract and milk.
Step 2
Once mixed shift flour through and knead until combined. Allow to rest for at least 1/3 hour.
Step 3
Peel the skin off a whole lemon and orange. Try not to cut too much of the white part of the peel as this is bitter. Dice superfine with a tablespoon of sugar. This can be done ahead of time. Set aside.
Step 4
Add sultanas and chopped/ crushed nuts into a bowl. Cut up the dried figs into small pieces.
Step 5
Add 3 tablespoons of cocoa & apricot jam.
Step 6
Add sweetened 3 shots of coffee to the nuts with Marsala. Mix through. Add to a pot on the stove and heat through until just warm. Allow to soak. We left for about 5 days before we put the in the pastry.
Step 7
Roll the pastry in a pasta machine, put a tablespoon of mixture and fold over the pastry into half moons. Use a pastry cutter to cut the dough. Use a knife to slit the pastry to allow to cook evenly. Sprinkle with 100’s & 1000’s.
Step 8
Brush each Martini with egg wash. And place in a 180 degree oven until golden.
