Instead of the stripes put just some nice form done with cookie cutters like I did for fall time some foliage. Use flowers in summer, stars around X-mas or butterflies in spring for example. That gives a nice touch to your coffee or tea table.
Of course you can use any jam you have. Originally it is used apricot jam in Italy. I use jam that didn’t come out perfectly and is a little bit too liquid.
Also the fruit is various and you can use any fruit you like.
Try sometimes with custard instead of jam. Then let it cool well in the fridge before serving.
You can decorate for example with some icing sugar (Sukrin e. g.) mixed with cinnamon in winter time. Or serve with coconut cream.
*All purpose flour I make this way (1 kg):
600 g almond flour
400 g starch
Any 100 g of this mix I add 3 g of arrowroot flour the moment I use it.
