Directions
-
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, sugar, and grated lemon peel. Add the oil and mix well. Gradually add the baking powder and flour, kneading until a smooth dough forms. Divide the dough into two equal portions.
-
Place parchment paper on a flat surface and lightly dust it with flour. Roll out one portion of the dough into a thin, even layer. Spread the apricot jam evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the crushed walnuts over the jam.
-
Roll out the second portion of dough on a separate floured parchment paper. Carefully place it over the jam-covered layer. Press the edges to seal, then trim any excess dough with a knife. Lightly press the top with a slotted spoon for texture. Sprinkle powdered sugar and additional nuts on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes. Let it cool completely before cutting into squares. Dust with more powdered sugar before serving.
