Pâtisserie aux Agrumes

Pâtisserie aux Agrumes is a delightful Moroccan dessert that combines the zesty flavors of citrus with the delicate texture of almond flour. Each bite offers a refreshing taste of orange and lemon, perfectly balanced with a hint of floral essence from orange blossom water.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• All-purpose flour - 30 grams
• Granulated sugar - 60 grams
• Butter (unsalted) - 40 grams, melted
• Orange juice - 30 ml
• Lemon juice - 15 ml
• Egg - 1 large
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Orange blossom water - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a small baking dish (approximately 20x20 cm) with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, orange juice, lemon juice, and orange blossom water until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing into squares and serving.
