Norwegian Almond Tart with Cardamom
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour - 1½ cups
- Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon
- Salt - ¼ teaspoon
- Butter - 4.4 oz
- Cardamom - 1½ teaspoons
- Sugar - ½ cup
- Whole egg - 2 pieces

- Powdered Sugar - 1 cup

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Mix flour, baking powder, 0.5 teaspoons of cardamom, and salt.
Step 2
Using a mixer, beat softened room temperature butter with sugar until fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add 1 yolk and cream. On low speed, add the flour mixture and combine.
Step 3
Form the dough into a ball. Separate one quarter, and from each part make a ball. Flatten the balls into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
Step 4
Grease the tart pan with butter. Tear the larger disk of dough into pieces (about the size of a walnut) and evenly distribute them on the bottom of the pan. Use a flat cup (or measuring cup) to flatten the pieces, using your fingers to form an even base throughout the pan (and up the sides).
Step 5
Roll out the smaller disk with a rolling pin to a thickness of 0.5 cm. Using decorative cookie cutters, cut out shapes and place them on a plate lined with parchment paper. Cover and refrigerate along with the tart base for 1 hour.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 356°F.
Step 7
Place almonds, powdered sugar, remaining cardamom, and nutmeg in a food processor and grind into a fine powder. Transfer the almond powder to a large bowl.
Step 8
Using a mixer, beat egg whites and vanilla until peaks form. Gently fold them into the almond powder.
Step 9
Beat the egg yolk with a fork and 2 tablespoons of water.
Step 10
Spread the almond filling in the tart base and distribute evenly. Arrange the cut-out shapes on top and brush them with the egg yolk.
Step 11
Bake for 30–35 minutes until the dough is golden brown. Cool.
Step 12
Serve with whipped cream.
