How to Make Pasta Frola

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining moisture.

fruit jam

🥗Healthier: fruit puree

💰Cheaper: homemade jam

Fruit puree lowers sugar content and can be made with fresh fruit.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and baking powder.

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

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract and lemon zest until well combined.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

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

Roll out the larger portion and press it into a tart pan to form the base.

Spread a layer of fruit jam evenly over the dough in the pan.

Roll out the smaller portion and cut it into strips to create a lattice top over the jam.

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

Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
