Directions

Pastry

__________

Place the flour, sugar, ground almonds, and butter in the food processor and pulse briefly just until it becomes crumbly.

Beat the egg yolks and 1 tablespoon water with a fork and add this to the flour mixture.

Pulse just until the dough comes together.

With your hands, form the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic.

Let rest for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry out and fit it into the bottom and sides of a fluted 9 inch tart pan.

Prick the bottom with a fork in several places and then bake the crust for 12 to 15 minutes.

-----------------------

Filling

--------

Place the eggs, lemon juice, zest, sugar in the food processor and blend.

Pour in the melted butter and blend.

Pour this mixture into the pastry crust and sprinkle the sliced almond on top.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is lightly browned and a skewer comes out cleanly.

Cool, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

To serve, garnish each slice with a dollop of whipped cream, sliced almonds and a raspberry, or a decorative slice of sugared lemon..
