Ingredients:

• 200 grams of all-purpose flour
• 100 grams of pistachio flour (or additional all-purpose flour)
• 100 ml milk, room temperature
• 75 grams of brown sugar
• 1 sachet of baking powder
• 60 grams of vegetable oil
• A pinch of salt
• For filling and decoration:
  • 200 grams of pistachio cream, plus a little more for garnish
  • Berry jam, as needed
  • Chopped pistachios, as needed

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix the sugar, the two flours, the baking powder and a pinch of salt.
2. Gradually add the milk and oil, mixing until you obtain a crumbly dough. The texture should resemble streusel; it will not form a smooth paste.
3. Line a 22cm tart tin with baking paper. Press 3/4 of the crumbly mixture into the pan to form the base.
4. Spread a thin layer of red fruit jam on the bottom, then add a layer of pistachio cream.
5. Crumble the remaining dough mixture over it.
6. Bake in a preheated fan oven at 180°C (356°F) for approximately 25-30 minutes.
7. Once cooled, finish by adding more pistachio cream and a pinch of crushed pistachios.
