Ingredients

Servings: 8
  • 220 g Butter
  • 75 g Icing sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 220 g Flour
  • 3 Eggs (size M)
  • 125 g Marzipan raw mass
  • 170 g Sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 85 g crushed almonds
  • 350 g Kumquats
  • 125 ml White wine
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut 100 g butter into pieces. Mix butter, icing sugar, salt, flour and 1 egg first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with your hands to a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in foil and chill for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Separate two eggs. Cream marzipan, 120 g sugar and 120 g butter. Stir in egg yolks one after the other. Beat egg whites with 1 pinch of salt until stiff. Fold in the beaten egg white with the ground almonds. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface approx. 3 mm thin, dusting the dough roll with flour.

  3. 3

    Lay out a rectangular tart mould with a lifting base (12 x 36 cm) with the rolled out dough and carefully press down the sides, making sure that there is an overhang of about 1 cm. Use your fingertips to form curled edges.

  4. 4

    Spread the marzipan-almond paste on the tart.

  5. 5

    Wash and slice the kumquats, removing the seeds. Caramelise 50 g sugar in a pot, deglaze with white wine. Add kumquats and cook in the stock for 2-3 minutes. Remove individual kumquat slices from the compote and spread them on the marzipan mass and bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see
