Ingredients
- 3 sized eggs
- 3 larger than the baking tin (inches)
- 2 1/2 c all purpose flour
- 1 c vegetable shortening (solid)
- 1/2 c butter at room temperature
- 1/2 c superfine sugar
- 3/4 c almonds (ground)
- 1/4 c ice water
- 2 tablespoons water to help
- 3 tablespoons heaped of the flour you set to one side
- 1 ts salt
brown all over. If it starts to brown on one side and not the other, turn the pie halfway through cooking (do this quickly or all the heat will escape). This means that you'll have to keep an eye on it while it's in the oven. You can serve this with whipped heavy cream it tastes not unlike pumpkin pie, but with an almond flavor.
