| 1. Sift together the flour and the baking powder into a bowl. | 2. Cream the butter with an electric mixer. | 3. Add the sugar and beat until the mixture is pale and light-coloured (about 5 minutes), scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula from time to time. | 4. Add the egg yolks one by one. | 5. Then add the brandy and the flavorings. | 6. Stop beating, and fold in the flour a little at a time, with a wooden spoon, blending it evenly into the mixture. | 7. When the dough becomes too stiff to stir, mix the flour in by hand until the dough is smooth and elastic (you may need to add a little water or milk to your dough to achieve this consistency - just a little at a time). | 8. Avoid overworking the dough. | 9. Cover dough in plastic wrap and allow to rest for 20 minutes before proceeding with recipe. | 10. On a floured surface roll out 2/3s of the dough into a round and line a buttered 10" pie dish or tart pan. | 11. Spread the jam over the dough. | 12. Roll out the reserved dough to a thickness of 1/8" and cut it into strips 1/2" wide. | 13. Lay them across the filling in a lattice pattern. | 14. Decorate with the almonds and bake the tart in a 350F degree oven for 30-35 minutes until light-golden. | 15. Store the tart uncovered, in a dry, cool place to prevent it from getting soggy. | 16. It can be kept one week at room temperature. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
