Ingredients
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fine almond flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon cold water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons fine almond flour
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 pint fresh raspberries
Powdered sugar, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse to mix, then add cold butter and pulse until the mixture looks shaggy.
- Whisk egg yolks with cold water, add to the processor, and pulse until the dough forms large chunks.
- Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan, prick with a fork, and freeze for 15 minutes.
- Bake the crust for 20 minutes until lightly golden. Cool for 15 minutes, then reduce oven to 350°F.
- For the filling, process butter, sugar, almond flour, all-purpose flour, and salt until combined. Add eggs and almond extract, blending until smooth.
- Spread filling into the crust and scatter raspberries evenly on top.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until puffed and golden. Cool on a rack, dust with powdered sugar, and slice to serve.
