directions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Have ready a 6 inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  • In the bowl of your electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until smooth.
  • Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • In another bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch, almond meal and salt. Add this mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and beat just until incorporated.
  • Press the shortbread dough evenly into the tart pan.
  • Prick the surface of the shortbread with a fork to prevent the shortbread from puffing up.
  • Using a sharp knife, score the top of the shortbread into 8 even pieces.
  • Gently press the flaked almonds in a decorative pattern on the top of the shortbread.
  • Place in preheated oven and bake until it is nicely browned, roughly one hour 15 minutes. Transfer shortbread to rack and cool for five minutes before removing from tart pan.
  • Place the shortbread round on a cutting board and cut along the score lines into 8 wedges.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack.
