\nThanksgiving is celebrated differently in the US than in Europe. In Europe we celebrate a mass to thank God for the good and plentiful harvest. We decorate the church with some of the crops and fruits and sometimes make crowns from the grain or vine.<\/em>
\nIn the US Thanksgiving is a national holiday. It\u2019s always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It is the most important family-based holiday, with families gathering for a feast of special dishes. The dishes go back to the first pilgrims in 1621 and their crops and harvest at that time.<\/em>
\nAs often all generations of a family gather to celebrate, the roads, airports and trains are crowded and congested.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nFuer den Teig:
\n280 g Mehl
\n\u00bd TL Salz
\n120 g Butter
\n3-6 EL kaltes Wasser<\/p>\n
Das Mehl mit dem Salz vermischen, dann die in Stuecke geschnittene Butter zugeben und mit einem Messer zusammenschneiden. So entsteht eine broeckelige Masse. Nun einen Essloeffel Wasser zugeben und mischen, wieder einen Essloeffel Wasser zugeben und das nur solange machen, bis der Teig knetbar wird. Zu einem Ball formen und in Folie verpackt 30 Minuten im Kuehschrank lagern.
\nDanach 8 kleine Toertchenformen ausbuttern, mit dem duenn ausgewallten Teig belegen und den Boden mit einer Gabel mehrfach einstechen.
\nIm Ofen bei 200 C Grad ca 15 Minuten backen.<\/p>\n
Fuer die Fuellung:
\n200 g Pekannuesse, gehackt
\n180 g fluessiger Honig (eigentlich muesste es Maissirup sein, aber den kriegt man hier schlecht)
\n100 g brauner Zucker
\n1 TL Vanilla Extrakt
\n60 g Butter
\n\u00bc TL Salz
\n\u00bd TL Zimt
\n2 Eier<\/p>\n
Die Butter mit dem Zucker schmelzen, den Honig dazu mischen und leicht auskuehlen lassen. Dann das Vanilla Extract, Salz und Zimt dazu geben und am Schluss die Eier reinmischen. Ich habe nun die gehackten Nuesse dazugemischt und die Mischung dann in die vorgebackenen Toertchen gegeben. Die Toertchen im Ofen bei 180 C Grad 20-30 Minuten backen.
\nDie Toertchen koennen lauwarm oder kalt, mit Eis oder Sahne serviert werden.<\/p>\n

\u00a0For the dough:<\/em> Mix the flour with the salt, then add the cold butter cut into pieces. With a knife cut it into the flour until you have a crumbly mass. Now slowly add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at the time until the dough comes together. Form a ball and wrap into cling-foil. Let rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.<\/em> \u00a0For the Filling:<\/em> Melt the butter with the sugar, then add the honey (or syrup) and let cool slightly. Add the vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon and at the end the eggs. I then just mixed in the chopped nuts. Fill this into the baked pie dishes. Bake in the oven at 180 C for 20-30 minutes.<\/em> Heute ist Thanksgiving in den USA und da kommen doch die suessen Pekan Toertchen genau richtig!
