Torta Sbrisolona Recipe

Ingredients:

• 350g all-purpose flour
• 250g granulated sugar
• 250g unsalted butter, softened
• 100g ground almonds
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9-inch (23cm) springform or tart pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, ground almonds, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
3. Add the softened butter to the mixing bowl and use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add in the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined. The dough will be crumbly, and that’s okay.
5. Pour the dough into the lined pan and use your hands or a spatula to press the dough down into a compact layer.
6. Bake the torta sbrisolona in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is dry and slightly cracked.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
