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 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. Rate it Print
