Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and corn starch.

In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into two portions, one slightly larger than the other.

Roll out the larger portion on a floured surface to fit a tart pan.

Transfer the rolled dough to the tart pan, pressing it into the edges.

Spread quince paste evenly over the dough in the tart pan.

Roll out the smaller portion of dough and cut into strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the quince paste.

Brush the top with egg yolk mixed with milk for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Allow to cool before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
