Elizabeth Meijer - Danbury, Connecticut
Bake-Off® Contest 30, 1982 Grand Prize Winner
This buttery almond dessert recipe is adapted from a Dutch pastry. Thinly slice this tempting dessert to serve.


   CRUST
   2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
   1 1/3 cups sugar
   1 1/3 cups butter, softened (do not use margarine)
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1 egg
   
   FILLING
   1 cup finely chopped almonds
   1/2 cup sugar
   1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
   1 egg, slightly beaten
   4 whole blanched almonds


Heat oven to 325°F. Place cookie sheet in oven to preheat. Grease 10- or 9-inch springform pan. In large bowl, blend all crust ingredients at low speed until dough forms. If desired, refrigerate for easier handling. Divide dough in half; spread half in bottom of greased pan to form crust.

In small bowl, combine all filling ingredients except whole almonds; blend well. Spread over crust to within 1/2 inch of sides of pan. Between 2 sheets of waxed paper, press remaining dough to 10- or 9-inch circle. Remove top sheet of waxed paper; place dough over filling. Remove waxed paper; press dough into place. Top with whole almonds.

Place cake on preheated cookie sheet. Bake at 325°F. for 65 to 75 minutes or until top is light golden brown. Cool 15 minutes; remove sides of pan. Cool completely.
