👨‍🍳 Method

For the Tart shell

  1. 1
    Mix the flour, almond flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking powder in a bowl.
    Bowl
  2. 2
    Transfer to a food processor, add the cold butter in cubes and process until coarse crumbs form.

  3. 3
    Add the egg and quickly bring together with your hands, without kneading, just until the dough comes together.
    💡Knead as little as possible: long kneading develops gluten, and the dough comes out tough and shrinks in the oven.
  4. 4
    Wrap in plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes.
    ⚙ Wrapping and Chilling the DoughPlastic wrapRefrigerator
    💡Chilling firms the butter and relaxes the gluten: the dough rolls out easily, doesn't stick to the counter and doesn't shrink in the oven.
  5. 5
    Roll out ⅔ of the dough and line a 24 cm Tart pan with it, sides included.
    ⚙ Rolling Out DoughRolling pinTart / pie pan
    💡Roll from the center outward and give the dough a quarter turn between rolls: this keeps it even in thickness and stops it sticking to the counter. If it springs back, cover for 10–15 minutes and try again.

To assemble

  1. 6
    Spread the jam in an even layer over the dough in the pan.

  2. 7
    Roll out the remaining dough. Cut into strips, arrange them over the filling in a lattice and press their ends to the edge of the crust.

  3. 8
    Bake in an oven preheated to 175°C (345°F) 30–35 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling bubbles.
    ⚙ BakingOvenTart / pie pan
    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  4. 9
    Sift the powdered sugar on top.
