Ingredients

How to make it

  • Pour the flour onto a work surface, to form a mound shape with a hole in the center In the well, add the sugar, butter, eggs, egg yolks, pinch of salt, and grated lemon rind.
  • Using a fork, mix the ingredients together with the flour. Sprinkle lightly the work surface with some flour to prevent the dough from sticking to the table. Form it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and keep in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Butter an 11 inches (28 cm) or 2 x (20cm tart pan), with a removable bottom and sprinkle with a small amount of flour.
  • Using a rolling pin on a floured surface, flatten the dough into the shape of a disk. Place the disk flat in the pan and with your fingers push it to uniformly cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Prick the surface of the pastry evenly with a fork. Place the jam in the center of the pan and use a spoon to spread the jam around uniformly. Sprinkle with the topping and some blanched Almonds. Bake for 40 minutes. Cool completely and decorate with Almonds
  • and sifted powder sugar if you desire.
  • Topping:
  • Ground the Almonds in a food processor till finally ground, add the flour and sugar and mix again. Finally add the diced butter and pulse till the mixture resembles coarse meal.
