1 pinch   ground cinnamon
To serve:   icing sugar
Shortcrust pastry
200 gm   plain flour

1 For shortcrust pastry, combine flour, sugar and butter in a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add egg and 1-2 tbsp cold water and pulse until pastry just comes together, then form pastry into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2 Whisk eggs and sugar until pale and frothy and mixture has doubled in size. Fold through lemon rind, almond meal and cinnamon.
3 Preheat oven to 180C. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured work surface to 3mm thick. Line a 25cm-diameter tart tin with pastry, trim edges and prick base with a fork. Spoon almond mixture into tart tin and smooth top. Bake for 50 minutes or until golden. Cool tart in pan, then remove from pan and serve dusted with icing sugar.
