Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 113 g melted unsalted butter
- 1 lb strawberries
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 whole eggs
- 4 tsp almond extract
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Whisk the softened or melted butter, sugar, eggs, almond extract and vanilla until smooth.
- 3 cup almond flour
- 1–2 lemons lemon zest
Add the almond flour and lemon zest and mix to a thick almond paste (frangipane). Halve it for a thinner tart.
- 8–10 sheets filo sheets
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
Brush filo sheets one at a time with melted unsalted butter, sprinkle each with about a tablespoon of sugar, and layer eight to ten, criss-crossing them for a rustic crust; fit snugly into the pan.
Spread the almond paste evenly in the center; roll the crust edges in rustically and brush with melted butter.
Cool completely at room temperature, about an hour to an hour and a half, then transfer to a serving platter.
Hull the strawberries, halve them (big ones in three) and arrange over the frangipane.
- apricot jam
- water
Melt apricot jam with a little water in a small pot over medium heat and brush over the strawberries.
