A beautiful Linzer Torte with a lattice top

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup ground hazelnuts or almonds
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup raspberry or redcurrant jam
  • 1 egg, beaten for wash

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine flour, ground nuts, sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Stir in the egg yolk and work the dough until it comes together. Chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Press two-thirds of the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan.
  4. Spread the jam evenly over the bottom crust.
  5. Roll the remaining dough and cut into strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the jam.
  6. Brush the lattice with the beaten egg wash.
  7. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely.
