Method

  1. 1 Mix the flour with the cold, diced butter using your fingertips until a coarse crumb is formed.
  2. 2 Add sugar, eggs, and grated lemon zest, then gather into a ball, but don't knead too much or the crust will be tough.
  3. 3 Let it cool for 1 hour, then roll out a portion to line a shallow mold.
  4. 4 Pour strawberry jam on top, then cut the remaining dough into strips and weave a lattice pattern on the surface.
  5. 5 Bake at 180 degrees for 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the jam is slightly bubbling. Let cool completely before cutting.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 1 hr 10 min

    Replace step 5: spray a thin layer of oil onto the sides of the mold, use a 195-degree hot air oven for 23 minutes, rotating the tray at minute 11. The strong airflow shortens the time by about one-third compared to a conventional oven and browns the surface faster.
