Hazelnut Frangipane Tart with Apricots and Softly Whipped Creme Fraiche
Yield:
1 9-inch tart shell

This rich dough is soft and a little difficult to roll, but it can be easily pressed into a tart shell -- and patched as needed. Use this recipe when making our Hazelnut Frangipane Tart with Apricots and Softly Whipped Creme Fraiche.

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature

  • ¾ cup confectioners' sugar

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. With a standing mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low. Add flour and salt, and beat until just combined and crumbly (do not overmix). Shape dough into a 9-inch round disk, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 days), or freeze for up to 1 month.
