butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

Coconut oil offers a dairy-free option with similar texture.

quince paste

🥗Healthier: apricot jam

💰Cheaper: apple jelly

Apricot jam is easier to find and offers a similar flavor profile.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Mix flour and salt in a bowl.

Cream melted butter and sugar in a separate bowl until light and fluffy.

Add eggs and vanilla essence to the butter mixture; mix well.

Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until a dough forms.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll out two-thirds of the dough on a floured surface to fit a tart pan.

Press the rolled dough into the tart pan, covering the bottom and sides.

Spread jam evenly over the dough base.

Roll out the remaining dough and cut into strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the jam.

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

Allow to cool before serving.
