Cooking

To prepare the products. I ask you not to be surprised that the photo shows BlackBerry jam, this is purely my absent-mindedness and poor vision. The packaging is very similar to blackcurrant jam. And when I noticed the mistake it was too late to do a new photo, the dough was already mixed in. Excuse me. The almonds need to pour boiling water for 3-5 minutes, then rinse with cold water and remove the skins. Then dry in a warm oven or the microwave, fry it is not necessary. When the almonds are dry, grind it in grinder or blender into fine crumbs.

In a wide bowl mix the flour, sugar, salt and almond crumb.

Add cold butter, cut into cubes

And to RUB hands in a uniform fine crumb,

Add the egg and spices

And knead the dough (it should not be tight). I have the dough bad salesianos probably due to the little eggs, I had to add 2 tbsp of cold water. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and put into the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

A baking pan diameter 24 cm to grease with cold butter and lay two wide strips of baking paper, placing them cross. The strips are also lubricated with oil.

Divide the dough into 2 parts: one bigger - 2/3 - on the basis, the second smaller - 1/3 - on the grid. A big part of a little roll and put into a form, then distribute it on the form, making a side height of 2 cm.

Jam in a bowl, add 2 tbsp of powdered sugar and 2 tbsp corn starch, mix well.

Spread jam on the dough.

A smaller part of the roll out thinner and cut into strips.

Lay out the strips on the jam in the form of a lattice. Bake for 35 minutes at 180*C.

Extract form with the tart from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Then the ends of the strips gently to remove the cake from the mold. Here it is necessary to summon someone from home, can't do it alone. Helped me son. To put the cake on the grill and give it to cool completely.
