1

In a bowl, combine 100 grams of butter and 100 grams of sugar, mixing until uniform.

2

Optionally, add lemon zest or vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.

3

Add 1 egg and mix well; the mixture may look curdled due to the moisture from the egg, which is normal.

4

Gradually add 230 grams of self-raising flour, mixing until the dough becomes difficult to handle with a whisk.

5

Switch to a spatula and press the mixture against the sides of the bowl until it forms a uniform dough.

6

Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour in the coldest part of the fridge.

7

Prepare the quince paste by mashing it with 2 tablespoons of water until it reaches a jelly-like consistency, then heat until melted.

8

After chilling, separate one-third of the dough to make strips for the lattice.

9

Roll out the remaining dough on a floured surface to the desired thickness, keeping in mind it will rise in the oven.

10

Transfer the rolled dough to a tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming excess.

11

Spread the melted quince paste evenly over the dough.

12

Cut the reserved dough into strips about 1 centimeter wide to create a lattice pattern on top of the quince paste.

13

Optionally, brush the lattice with beaten egg or additional quince paste for shine.

14

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (about 392°F) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
