INGREDIENTS
Pastry
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely ground hazelnuts
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
1 teaspoon baking powder
1-1/2 cubes butter (6 oz.), softened
1 egg
1 egg yolk
DIRECTIONS
Pastry
Preheat oven to 350?.
Mix all dry ingredients, lemon and orange peel together. Using pastry blender, cut in butter very finely until mixture has the consistency of coarse sand. Beat egg & yolk together. Make well in center of dry ingredients, pouring in the beaten egg and blending with fork, until all dry ingredients are moistened - 2 to 3 minutes. (It will be very soft.) COOK’S NOTE: The food processor method (i.e. cutting hard butter into flour mixture) is not recommended here, as it is essential to use softened butter to have a soft dough, in order to pipe through pastry tube.
Assembly
Press half the dough in the bottom of a 9" tart pan with removable
bottom, or 9" springform pan. Spread filling over dough. Using a pastry
tube fitted with a 3/8" plain or ridged tip?? pipe diagonal lattice over
filling. Pipe a continuous border of large dots around outer edge where lattice
intersects. Bake at 350? for 35-40 minutes. Cool tart completely before
attempting to unmold. Dust with powdered sugar.
