Steps

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and butter cut into pieces. Mix until the mixture is crumbly. Add the egg and knead until you get a smooth, soft dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate.

    Roll out three-quarters of the dough with a rolling pin. Butter and flour a 9-inch (22 cm) round baking pan. Line the pan with the dough and pour in the prepared filling. Decorate the top with four strips of dough in one direction and three strips in the other. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
