- 3 grams fine sea salt (about rounded 1/2 teaspoon)
- 3 grams vanilla extract (about 1/2 teaspoon)
- 80 grams egg yolk (about 5 yolks)

- 70 grams confectioners sugar (about 3/4 cup)
- 2 grams cornstarch (about 3/4 teaspoon)
- 2 grams cake flour (about 1 teaspoon)
- 70 grams French-style 82 percent fat butter, such as Plugra (2 1/2 ounces), at room temperature
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 grams vanilla extract or paste (about 1/2 teaspoon)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 12 grams dark rum (about 1 tablespoon), optional
- 150 grams good quality raspberry jam (about 1/2 cup)
- 250 grams raspberries (9 ounces or about 2 cups)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Make the pate sablee: Sift flour, 35 grams hazelnut flour and 110 grams confectioners sugar into separate bowls.
- Place 175 grams butter, 3 grams salt and sifted all-purpose flour in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Mix on low speed until flour and butter just come together.
- Add sifted hazelnut flour and confectioners sugar and mix on low until ingredients are just incorporated.
- Add vanilla extract and egg yolks and mix on medium just until ingredients come together.
- Scrape dough out of bowl and press into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangular block.
- Wrap airtight in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Unwrap dough and cut into two equal pieces.
- Wrap one piece and refrigerate or freeze for use in another tart.
- Butter a 9-inch metal tart pan with a removable bottom very lightly and evenly.
- (If you can see the butter you have used too much.)
- Place parchment paper or a Silpat on a work surface and dust lightly with flour.
- Tap on the dough with a rolling pin to make it pliable.
- Roll dough out gently to about 1/4-inch thickness, frequently rotating it a quarter turn clockwise.
- Work quickly so dough doesnt warm up and become sticky.
- Cut a circle that is 1 1/2 inches larger in diameter than tart pan.
- (An easy way to do this is to use a larger pan or ring as a guide; set it on top of the dough and cut around it.)
- Very lightly dust dough with flour; use a pastry brush to remove any excess flour.
- Wrap dough loosely around rolling pin to lift it up from work surface, then immediately unroll it onto tart pan.
- Gently guide dough down the sides of the pan, making sure that dough leaves no gap between the bottom edge of the sides of the pan and the bottom.
- Using a paring knife, trim away excess dough hanging over edges.
- Refrigerate tart shell, uncovered, for at least 1 hour and preferably overnight.
- Assemble the tart: Heat oven to 325 degrees.
- Place hazelnuts on a sheet pan lined with parchment and roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, cool for 15 minutes and place in a bag.
- Seal bag and gently roll over nuts with a rolling pin, just to crush them into halves.
- Set aside.
- Sift together 70 grams hazelnut flour, 70 grams confectioners sugar, the cornstarch and the cake flour.
- Place 70 grams butter, pinch of salt and the vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix at medium speed for 1 minute.
- Turn off machine, scrape down sides of bowl and add hazelnut flour mixture.
- Mix at medium speed for 1 minute.
- Gradually add egg and mix at medium speed until incorporated, no more than 2 minutes.
- Add rum, if using, and mix until incorporated.
- Remove tart shell from refrigerator.
- With a fork, poke holes in the dough, 1 inch apart.
- Spoon or pipe hazelnut cream into bottom of shell.
- Using a small offset spatula, spread in a smooth, even layer.
- Bake tart for 40 minutes, until cream and crust are golden brown and the tip of a paring knife comes out clean when inserted.
- Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
- Remove tart from the ring and, with a small offset spatula, spread raspberry jam over surface in an even layer.
- (If jam is too stiff to spread easily, place it in a small saucepan and warm it slightly first on top of the stove.)
- Arrange fresh raspberries on jam.
- Just before serving, distribute roasted hazelnuts among the raspberries and dust with powdered sugar.
- The tart is best when eaten the day it is made, but can be refrigerated for a day.
