Ingredients
- 40 g almond flour
- 130 g all-purpose flour
- 30 g confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1 stick (113 g) unsalted butter
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 4 tsp cold water
Cookware
- 1 sheet pan
- 1 food processor
- 1 aluminum foil
- 1 tart pan
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast almond flour in sheet pan until fragrant, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
Beat and egg yolk with the vanilla and cold water in a small bowl.
Step 3
Add the confectioners' sugar, all-purpose flour, salt, and almond flour to a food processor and pulse.
Step 4
Add the 1/2" cubed cold unsalted butter to the food processor and pulse until it looks like coarse corn meal.
Step 5
Add liquid ingredients to food processor and pulse.
Step 6
Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and shape it into a ball. Flatten with your fingers to a rectangle and wrap in cling film. Chill for at least 1 hour before using. 15 minutes.
Step 7
Take the dough out of the fridge and divide almost in half, about 9/16ths using a bench scraper.
Step 8
Divide the smaller half into six equal strips and use the strips to press into the sides of the pan, ensuring to press the dough into the bottom corner. Using the leftovers from the six strips, fill in some of the cracks where the dough strips come together.
Step 9
Divide the slightly larger half of the dough and cut it into many thin pieces and press those strips into the bottom of the pan.
Step 10
Using floured fingers, or a straight sided measuring cup, press and thin the dough into the pan. Use the measuring cup to press the dough into the fluted edge of the pan.
Step 11
Pop the dough into the freezer for 5 minutes.
Step 12
Use a knife to trim the top edge of the pan.
Tip
Hold onto the pie scraps to use to patch any cracks after parbaking.
Step 13
Take aluminum foil and press it into the bottom of the pan and press the foil up the sides of the pan. Ensure to keep the top edge of the crust exposed to make it easier to tell when the crust is done in the oven.
Note
There is no need to use pie weights when par-baking.
Step 14
Parbake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 15
Remove the foil and bake a little longer, until the bottom is set.
