I'm not a huge fan of almond flour, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this pastry. The almond flavor is very subtle and it doesn't overpower the other flavors in the tart.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is the amount of butter. I found that I needed to add a little more to get the pastry to come together.

I love that this recipe uses almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. It gives the pastry a lovely nutty flavor and a slightly more crumbly texture.
