Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1/2 pound shelled almonds (see note below)
3 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
Sweet Basque Cream
confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 10-inch pie plate.
  • In a blender, blend the sugar and lemon zest until they are well mixed. Add the almonds, and blend again until the almonds are ground fine. Add the eggs, egg yolks, and butter, and blend until all the contents are well mixed. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Scrape the batter into the pan, and smooth the top. Bake the tart on the center rack of the oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean but the tart is still moist. Let it cool on a wire rack.
  • Spoon Sweet Basque Cream onto each plate, and set a tart wedge on top. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and serve.
  • Note: Almonds, easy to find in any supermarket, are most commonly sold raw or blanched. Buy raw almonds, if possible. Because you will be grinding the nuts, it doesn't matter whether they're whole or sliced when you buy them.

The crust was a bit too crumbly for my liking.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tart didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny.
