Put the flours, almond meal, sugar, baking powder, and the
salt into a food processor. Pulse to mix everything. Cut the butter into chunks
and add. Pulse, breaking the pieces into smaller pieces. Continue pulsing as you
add the eggs and the lemon juice. Once everything is incorporated, stop. Put the
dough onto the counter and gather it into dough. Add more lemon juice if
necessary. Do not over work otherwise the result will be a wet, sticky paste.
Divide the dough in half, shape into flat cakes, wrap and refrigerate until
ready to use.
Fruit Jam Recipe:
Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds plums (preferably Italian) or
nectarines--pitted and quartered
3/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons orange rind
Put the fruit, sugar and rind into a non-aluminum pot. Cook over
medium heat, stirring occasionally until
the fruit releases it's
juices and begins to boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Use a food
mill to remove the skins. Return the puree to the pot and cook
until the puree thickens, about 15 minutes. Cool before pouring
into the prepared tart pan.
Directions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9
inch removable bottom tart pan.
Roll out 1 of the pieces of the dough between parchment paper,
wax paper or plastic wrap. Place the rolled pastry into the
buttered pan and press it to line the pan. Trim off the excess
around the edges.
Spread the jam over the baked crust. Roll out the remaining
dough about 1/4 inch thick. Using a sharp paring knife, slice
long 3/4-1 inch wide strips. Create a lattice over the jam.
Brush the lattice with some jam. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until
the pastry is golden brown. Cool slightly, then remove the tart
from the pan.
