Steps

  • Pulse flour, butter, and sugar in a food processor until breadcrumbs form.
  • Add one egg and pulse until a rough dough forms, adding milk if too dry.
  • Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in film, and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Roll out dough on a floured surface and line a 30x20cm tin.
  • Chill the lined tin in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Blind bake the pastry with parchment and beans for 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove beans, brush pastry with beaten egg, and bake for 5 more minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C.
  • Beat filling butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  • Mix in ground almonds and then add remaining eggs one by one.
  • Fold in the lemon zest and flour.
  • Spread jam across the pastry base, leaving a 2.5cm border.
  • Spread filling over the jam and top with flaked almonds.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until set and golden-brown.
  • Cool in the tin and slice into 5cm squares.
