Steps

  1. First mix the white sugar, almond paste and cream, then add two eggs, almond powder, vanilla extract, butter, flour, wine and salt, etc., and use a whisk to quickly stir until it is fluffy and white until the egg paste dripping down when you pick up the whisk can have clear fold marks.

  2. Take out 1 piece of pie crust to make the base, place it on baking paper, use an 11 cm round mold to make a circular mark in the center of the pie crust; brush some water on the outer edge of the 11 cm diameter circle stamp; squeeze the almond butter into a spiral shape from the inside out;

  3. Fold the other pie crust in half and place it at a 45-degree angle to the bottom pie crust. While unfolding the pie crust, squeeze out the air between the pie crust and the filling, and finally cover the almond butter entirely;

  4. Use your fingers to press along the edge of the almond butter to make the upper and lower pie crusts tightly combined, then put it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes (remember: do not refrigerate for more than 30 minutes, otherwise it will not expand easily when baked.); take out the refrigerated pie, and use a 4.5 cm diameter round mold to make a semicircular impression like a petal;

  5. Then use a knife to cut the pie crust along the semicircle mark, and carefully tear the cut pie crust apart. Spread a thin layer of egg wash on the surface of the pie crust, poke a hole in the center of the pie with the tip of a knife, score the desired pattern on the pie crust, and score the edges with knife marks about 1 cm apart. Finally, apply egg yolk liquid;
