We show you, with the help of the experts of straight to the palate how to make it with the help of a video recipe. You will see that they are used some tartlet rings that are very comfortable. These can be replaced by removable base molds for tartlets, although if you do not have one or the other, you can make the cake big. The flavor will be the same, yes, you will have to increase the oven time to 35-40 minutes so that it is cooked inside.
The base dough needs to rest for half an hour in the fridge, so we start with it. In a deep bowl, mix the butter (at room temperature) together with the sugar, a pinch of salt and half a teaspoon of vanilla essence. Stir until homogenized.
Then add the egg, stir and, when it is well integrated, add all the flour at once. We work until we obtain a homogeneous mass. It is a soft dough, although if we notice it excessively buttery we can adjust the point by adding a little flour. Wrap in plastic wrap and put in the fridge for half an hour.

For the filling mix the almond, sugar and lemon zest. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well before adding the next. We do the same with the yolks. Add the melted butter and stir gently until smooth.
We stretch the base dough with a rolling pin, cut with a 12 cm pasta cutter and line six 8 cm molds or rings with it. Remove the excess from the edges, fill with the almond paste and Bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC for about 7-8 minutes.. We unmold once cold and decorate with icing sugar and the cross of Santiago.
