Almond Tart from Andria

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) very cold butter, cut in 1/2-inch pieces
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons ice water, or more as needed
• 4 large egg whites
• Large pinch of salt
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
• 1 1/2 cups sliced almonds, lightly toasted
• A food processor for making the tart dough
• A 9-inch metal tart mold with fluted sides and removable bottom
• An electric mixer with whisk attachment

1. Make the tart dough at least 6 hours before rolling it (preferably longer).
2. Put the flour, salt, and sugar into the bowl of the food processor.
3. Process for a few seconds to mix the dry ingredients.
4. Drop the cut-up butter on top of the flour, and pulse the machine in a dozen or more short bursts, until the mixture is crumbly with only small bits of butter visible.
5. Pour the egg yolks over the crumbs, and pulse in bursts for about 5 seconds total, to moisten the dough.
6. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of ice water on the dough, and pulse again for a few seconds.
7. The dough should begin to clump together but wont form a solid mass.
8. Scrape it all out onto a board; gather and press the clumps into a firm ball.
9. If its dry and crumbles apart, sprinkle more ice water over the dough and knead gently.
10. When the dough sticks together, flatten it into a disk, wrap well in plastic, and refrigerate for 6 hours or up to a day before rolling; freeze the dough for longer keeping.
11. When youre ready to roll the dough and fill the tart, preheat your oven to 350 , with a rack set in the center.
12. Place a baking stone on the rack if you have one.
13. Cut off a third of the dough in a single piece for the lattice top; keep it chilled.
14. Place the larger piece of dough between two sheets of parchment, and roll it out to an even round, 11 inches in diameter.
15. Peel off the top sheet of parchment, invert the circle over the tart pan, and peel off the remaining sheet.
16. Press the dough gently down into the pan so it covers the bottom and lines the sides.
17. Trim the edges of the dough round so it is even with the pan rim.
18. With your fingers, form an even wall all the way around.
19. Use scraps of dough to fill cracks or thin spots on the bottom or sides.
20. Put the lined tart pan in the refrigerator.
21. Now roll the smaller piece of dough between the parchment sheets to a 10-inch round.
22. Remove the top parchment sheet, and cut the dough in 1-inch-wide strips with a pastry cutter or sharp knife.
23. Leave the strips in place on the parchment sheet, and refrigerate them while you make the filling.
24. Put the egg whites with the pinch of salt in the bowl of the electric mixer, and start whisking at medium speed.
25. When the whites are frothy, pour in the sugar gradually, and raise the speed as the whites expand and thicken.
26. When all the sugar has been incorporated, drop in the lemon zest, and continue whipping until the whites are very light, smooth, and glossy.
27. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top, a handful at a time, and fold in gently with a spatula so they are evenly dispersed.
28. Take the pastry-lined tart pan and lattice strips from the refrigerator.
29. Scrape the filling into the pastry shell, and spread it evenly.
30. To form the lattice top, lay half the strips right over the filling, parallel and spaced about an inch apart.
31. Lay the other strips diagonally across the first set, covering the entire top of the tart in an even patterncutting the strips or piecing them together to make different lengths.
32. When theyre all arranged, press and pinch the ends of the strips securely into the top rim of dough in the pan.
33. Bake the tarton a stone, if you have onefor about 45 minutes, or until the filling has risen and dried and appears firm and lightly browned in the lattice.
34. The dough strips and rim should be golden brown.
35. Cool the tart on a wire rack.
36. When the crust has contracted a bit, slip off the fluted side ring.
37. When it is completely cool, transfer the tart to a serving plate, if you wish, by sliding a long wide spatula (or two spatulas) under the pastry bottom and lifting the tart off the metal disk.
38. Cut it in wedges, and serve.
