• ¼ cup (30g) powdered sugar
• ½ cup (1 stick / 115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1–2 tbsp ice water (if needed)
For the almond filling (frangipane):
• ½ cup (1 stick / 115g) unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
• ½ cup (50g) almond flour
• 1 large egg
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, powdered sugar, and butter until crumbly. Add egg yolk; pulse until dough forms. If too dry, add ice water 1 tsp at a time. Flatten into a disk; wrap and chill 30 min.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough to fit a 9″ tart pan with removable bottom. Press into edges; trim excess. Prick base with fork. Line with parchment; fill with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake 15 min. Remove weights; bake 5 more min until golden. Cool slightly.
- Frangipane: Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in almond flour, then egg, vanilla, almond extract, and salt until smooth.
- Spread frangipane evenly into warm crust. Arrange raspberries on top, pressing gently into filling. Sprinkle with sliced almonds if using.
- Bake 30–35 min until filling is puffed and golden. Cool completely on wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
