Steps:
- Sift together the flour and the baking powder into a bowl.
- Cream the butter with an electric mixer.
- Add the sugar and beat until the mixture is pale and light-coloured (about 5 minutes), scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula from time to time.
- Add the egg yolks one by one.
- Then add the brandy and the flavorings.
- Stop beating, and fold in the flour a little at a time, with a wooden spoon, blending it evenly into the mixture.
- When the dough becomes too stiff to stir, mix the flour in by hand until the dough is smooth and elastic (you may need to add a little water or milk to your dough to achieve this consistency - just a little at a time).
- Avoid overworking the dough.
- Cover dough in plastic wrap and allow to rest for 20 minutes before proceeding with recipe.
- On a floured surface roll out 2/3s of the dough into a round and line a buttered 10" pie dish or tart pan.
- Spread the jam over the dough.
- Roll out the reserved dough to a thickness of 1/8" and cut it into strips 1/2" wide.
- Lay them across the filling in a lattice pattern.
- Decorate with the almonds and bake the tart in a 350F degree oven for 30-35 minutes until light-golden.
- Store the tart uncovered, in a dry, cool place to prevent it from getting soggy.
- It can be kept one week at room temperature.
