Ingredients
  • 245g (8.6oz) All Purpose Flour
  • 40g (1.4oz) Ground Almonds (Almond flour)
  • 75g (2.6oz) Powered Sugar
  • 170g (6oz) Cold Butter, cut in cubes
  • 1 Large Egg
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, put together the flour, ground almonds and powdered sugar until fine powder
  2. Add butter cubes and pulse a couple times, until a chunky, sandy texture (we want small pieces of butter to remain visible)
  3. Add Egg and pulse a few more times until you see it’s formed into big pieces of soft dough
  4. Combine the dough together with your hands into a disk and wrap it with saran wrap, do it quickly so the butter doesn’t melt from the warmth of your hands. Place in the fridge for at least 30 min (or up to 3 days)
  5. Heat oven to 180 C / 356 F
  6. Flour you surface and roll out your dough to about 3mm thick. Gently pick up the rolled though and line your pie pan with it, pushing the dough into the corners with your thumb.
  7. Poke the dough with a fork all around the bottom and place it back in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes.
  8. Blind Bake for 15 minutes, remove the pie weights and bake for another 10 minutes.
  9. Cool completely before filling or removing from the pan
