Time 2h

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for rolling dough
2 teaspoons baking powder
Butter for greasing pan
14 ounces apricot, raspberry or other jam

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on high until well combined. Mix in the egg, yolk, vanilla and lemon zest, then add the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and the baking powder. Mix at medium speed just until the mixture begins to clump. Press the dough into a ball by hand, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and allow to warm slightly. Lightly butter the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Press of the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan, patting it until smooth and firm. Fill the crust with jam, spreading it evenly.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the remaining dough into a thin disk about 9 inches in diameter. Cut into narrow strips and weave into a lattice pattern on top of the pie.
  • Bake until the pastry is light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes; watch carefully to be sure the crust doesn't darken, which can happen suddenly. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving. Serve at room temperature.
