- Preparation: 50 min
- Cooking: 45 min
- Makes: 1 serving (84.9 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, nut
Ingredients
- 21.5 g Flour, all-purpose
- 0.3 g Baking powder
- 10.5 g Sugar
- 0.15 g Cardamom, ground
- 14.5 g Butter, unsalted, cold
- 3.5 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 14.5 g Almonds, finely ground
- 14.5 g Sugar, powdered (icing sugar)
- 4.5 g Egg whites, raw
- 1 g Egg yolk, to brush
Method
- Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and cardamom and rub in the cold butter until crumbly. Add the egg and quickly bring it together to a smooth dough. Wrap it and chill for 30 minutes.
- For the filling, mix the ground almonds with the icing sugar, then stir in the egg whites to a thick, spreadable paste.
- Heat the oven to 175°C and grease a 24 cm tin. Roll out two-thirds of the dough and line the base and sides of the tin with it.
- Spread the almond filling evenly over the dough.
- Roll out the rest of the dough, cut it into strips about 1 cm wide and lay them over the filling in a lattice, pressing the ends onto the edge. Brush the strips with the egg yolk, beaten.
- Bake on a low shelf for 40-45 minutes, until golden; cover loosely with foil if the top browns too fast.
- Let it cool in the tin before cutting into 14 slices. It keeps for several days and is even better the next day.
