Portuguese Almond Pastry
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter, cut up small
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
2 egg yolks, beaten
ALMOND FILLING
1 1/2 cup ground almonds
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tbsp grated lemon rind
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 eggs, slightly beaten
GARNISH
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
1 confectioner's sugar
Preheat oven to 375~. Sift flour into mixing bowl; make well in
center. Place butter pieces in well. Add sugar, water, and egg yolks.
Blend with pastry blender or 2 knives until the consistency of fine
crumbs. Shape pastry into smooth ball; work in additional flour if
necessary. Divide pastry into 2 parts. Roll out one part on lightly
floured surface to 1/4 inch thick; cut into circle using bottom of
cake pan with removable bottom for pattern. Fit circle into pan.
To make filling, combine almonds and sugar in medium-size bowl; stir
in lemon rind. Work in butter with fingers until well blended. Add
eggs; blend thoroughly with wire whisk. The filling will be runny
when mixed, but will be firm when baked. Spoon almond filling over
pastry in pan. Roll out remaining pastry to 1/4 inch thick; cut
circle slightly larger than bottom circle. Place top pastry over
filling. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until top crust is lightly
browned. Cool for 5 minutes; remove from pan. Garnish with sliced
almonds; sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. Serves 8 to 10.
