Vlaai

The traditional pastry in the province of The Netherlands where I am from is "vlaai". A sort of fruit-flan made from a yeast dough (dutch: gist deeg), covered with whatever fruit is available. Propably the most used fruit is apricots (abrikozenvlaai).
I have seen my mum, my mother-in-law, my aunts, my grandmother, bake one after the other. Simple job, "just bake a vlaai". But....being 61 now I never made one myself. And tomorrow is Pamela's birthday.
To make a long story short......here is my result: not anywhere near where it should be. The dough has not risen, and mulberries (dutch: moerbei bessen) is not the best combination together with apricots.
But: I made Pamela her birthday vlaai, and I promise that I will practice my skills.
A lot of sugar on top makes it look reasonable Ok I think.
