Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons ice water
  • Flour for dusting, as needed
  • 1 jar (3/4 cup) raspberry preserves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds, toasted
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting, optional

Directions

Mix the flour, sugar, and lemon peel, in a food processor. Add the butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add salt. Pulse in the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until moist clumps form. Gather the dough into a ball; flatten into a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to an 11-inch round. Transfer the dough onto a heavy baking sheet that has been lined with a silpat or parchment paper. Stir the lemon juice into the preserve and spread the preserves on top of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the dough border over the filling to form an 8-inch round, pleating loosely and pinching to seal any cracks in the dough.

Bake the crostata until the crust is golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool. Sprinkle with the almonds and dust with the powdered sugar, if you wish. Slide a metal spatula under the crust to free the crostata from the baking sheet and serve.

    1 1/2 c is correct

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    It is the same as the raspberry crostata recipe. There was probably an error in typing - it should be 1 1/2 c flour.

    Great easy dessert

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is simple to make and flavorful. The nuts add a nice crunch and the addition of the lemon juice to the raspberry... preserves brightens the flavor.Read more

    This is not hard at all, I saw it on the brunch special. I followed her instructions carefully especially with the ice water... (go slow when adding) and it came out great!Read more

    Surprisingly easy to make and delicious!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I was having my first gathering where I was doing ALL the cooking for the event. I decided to start with a brunch as it was... my first time hosting something at my place. My mother sent this recipe to me as well as a few others to try. The first time I made it I was surprised how easy it was make even for a beginner like me. I did feel the amount of preserves was a bit overwhelming so when I made it again for the actual event I put a little less than the recipe called for. It was a big hit. It is a very pretty dish and I felt like a pro. I absolutely love the taste of the dough. I can see where it can be used for something else.Read more

    I have made this many times and every time it turns out perfectly! Easy to make and looks like something you'd buy in a... bakery. Very impressive to serve guests. I will continue to make it over and over! Positively scrumptious!Read more
