Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a tart pan with some butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- If you prefer toasted almonds, you can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden and aromatic. Allow them to cool slightly, then chop them coarsely.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the 2 tablespoons of butter with 1/3 cup of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed.
- Add the 2 eggs to the mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the 1/2 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Slowly pour in the 1/3 cup of milk while stirring continuously to ensure a smooth batter.
- Gently fold the chopped almonds into the batter until they are evenly distributed. If you prefer a stronger almond flavor, you can add a few drops of almond extract at this stage.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tart pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the tart to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help the tart set and make it easier to slice.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle some powdered sugar or drizzle a bit of honey over the tart before serving. Enjoy your Portuguese Almond Tart with a cup of coffee or tea!
Tips:
- Toast the almonds lightly in a skillet before adding them to the batter to enhance their flavor.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk to ensure they mix smoothly into the batter.
- Line your tart pan with parchment paper to make sure the tart doesn't stick and comes out easily once baked.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing for clean, neat portions.
- Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top of the tart for a finished look and added sweetness.
This Portuguese almond tart is a delightful and easy-to-make dessert that is sure to impress with its nutty and sweet flavors. Perfectly suited for any occasion, this tart will bring a touch of Portugal to your table. Happy baking!
