250 g + 200 g sugar
4 Eggs (Gr. M)
2 TABLESPOONS Cornstarch
1 package Vanilla sugar

Directions

1
For the Curd Bio-Orange, wash hot, dab dry and finely grate 1 teaspoon of peel. Squeeze both oranges. 250 g white
2
Stir over a low to medium heat for about 10 minutes (do not boil!) until the mixture thickens. Remove from the stove. Cover the curd directly on the surface with foil and let it cool down.
3
Preheat oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Line a baking tray with baking paper. For the dough mix 250 g butter, 200 g sugar and vanilla sugar with the whisks of the mixer until creamy.
4
Add 300 g flour and ground almonds. Quickly knead into crumbles with your hands.
5
Approx. 2⁄3 Press the dough on the tray with floured hands to a base (approx. 30 x 30 cm). Pre-bake in a hot oven for about 10 minutes. Mix the rest of the dough with almond flakes. Cover and put in a cool place.
6
Remove the base from the oven and let it cool down for about 10 minutes.
7
Spread Orange Curd on the floor, leaving about 1 cm of edge free. Spread the rest of the crumble on top. Bake at the same temperature for 20-25 minutes. Let the cake cool down on the tray. Cut into about 25 pieces.

Dust with icing sugar.
