  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water to form a dough.
