Servings: 6 (approx. ⅓ cup) servings
Calories: 403kcal
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 eggs large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 ½ cups almond meal (aka: almond flour or finely ground almonds)*
Instructions
- Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream the sugar, butter, and salt together until very pale and doubled in volume (approx. 5 to 7 minutes).
- Whip in the first egg until fully incorporated.
- Whip in the second egg and the extracts until well blended.
- Fold in the almond meal.
- Bake until set. (Exact times and temps will depend on what you are using it for. A large, deep-dish tart will require less baking than a thin layer sandwiched in a croissant. As a general rule, I'd give it at least 10 or 15 minutes at 350 degrees F, maybe longer.)
