So I apologize for that.
Preheat oven to 375.
Line a 9" round cake pan with aluminum foil or parchment so it sticks out on four corners--- easier to remove your confection to place on a plate and serve with coffee!
Mash in a bowl with a fork, a stick of butter and 100 grams of sugar. Just weigh it. Grate fine or zest some lemon rind (don't get the white part) and add. Mix in an egg. Add 1 3/4 cup flour and mix in.
Dump out on a floured counter and roll out. It'll stick to the pin and counter. Just flour the pin. It should remind you of sugar cookie dough. When it's about double a pie crust's thickness, stop. Using a knife cut a circle 1" larger than the base of your cake pan. (set it on top.)
Use a spatula to scrape under the circle and roll it up on the pin to transfer to the cake pan. Press in and up sides about 3/4".
Take 1/3 cup of preserves or jam, add a spoon of water or two and mix to make a tad runny. Pour onto crust.
Now use the extra dough to make a lattice, make hearts, whatever. Paint with an egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake till golden, about 35 min.
In all it shouldn't take more than 15 min to get in the oven. By end of dinner it's ready.
Raspberry, apricot, and cherry are common. Or use nutella, and sprinkle with chopped almonds. YUM.
No excuses for buying dessert. Make it girl!! :)
Buon appetito!
