About the dish

Fyrsteterte is among the dessert cakes of the 1949 edition. The almonds are dried and ground without blanching, which the book stresses.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Make the dough

    Work the flour, butter, sugar, egg yolk, cream and baking powder together into a dough.

  2. 2

    Line the base

    Roll out half of the dough and lay it in the bottom of a greased round tin.

  3. 3

    Make the filling

    Dry the almonds without blanching them, and grind them. Mix with the icing sugar and water and spread the mixture over the dough base.

  4. 4

    Make the lattice

    Roll out the rest of the dough as thick as the back of a knife and cut into strips about 1 cm wide. Lay the strips in a lattice over the almond filling and place one strip around the whole edge of the cake.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake the tart pale golden brown at low heat.
