In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In a stand mixer
with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar together until smooth.
Add the egg, egg yolk and almond extract and beat until combined. Gradually add the flour
mixture and mix until the dough just comes together.
Transfer about one-third of the dough to a lightly floured counter and shape it into a log about 2
inches (5 cm) in diameter. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it until needed, or stick it in the
freezer.
Transfer the remaining dough to a buttered 9-inch (23-cm) tart pan with a removable bottom of a
9-inch (23-cm) springform pan. Using your hands, press the dough evenly into the bottom. If
using a tart pan, press the dough up the sides to the rim of the pan and set the tart pan on a
baking sheet. If using a springform pan, press the dough about 3/4-inch (2-cm) up the sides of
the pan. Refrigerate the dough-lined pan until firm, at least one hour, or for half an hour in the
freezer.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the jam or marmalade evenly over the dough in the
pan. Cut the chilled dough into very thin discs with a sharp paring knife, or use a cookie cutter.
Arrange them slightly overlapped in concentric circles over the jam to form a top crust. Whisk
the remaining egg white with a teaspoon of water until frothy; brush evenly over the tart lid and
then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons (30 grams) coarse sugar. Bake until the top crust is golden
brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
