Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon rose water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sliced almonds (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine almond flour, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

    Ensure there are no lumps in the almond flour.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the softened butter, egg, and rose water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

    The dough should be slightly sticky.
  4. Shape the Tarts

    Take small portions of dough and shape them into tart shells in a greased tart pan.

    Make sure to press the dough evenly.
  5. Add Toppings

    Sprinkle sliced almonds on top and optionally add granulated sugar.

    You can also add a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor.
  6. Bake the Tarts

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

    Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
