Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter diced, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup almond flour, and 1 egg yolk until the dough just comes together.
- Step 2: Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom, making sure to push the dough up the sides. Prick the crust all over with a fork.
- Step 3: Bake the crust for 15 minutes until it starts to turn golden. Meanwhile, toss 2 cups mixed berries with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp lemon zest.
- Step 4: Remove the crust from the oven and evenly distribute the sugared berries over it. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sliced almonds on top.
- Step 5: Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes until the berries are bubbly and almonds are toasted. Cool for 20 minutes before serving.
