Ingredients
Method
Directions
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, ground almonds, cinnamon, lemon zest, and salt to the mixture. Mix until combined.
Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Chill the Dough
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Prepare the Filling
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan.
Take about two-thirds of the chilled dough and press it into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan.
Add the Jam
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the crust.
Make the Lattice
Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips to form a lattice pattern over the jam.
Bake
Bake the Linzer Torte for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
