Heat the oven to 170°C.
Grind half the almonds coarsely and half finely.
Mix the flour, cornmeal, almonds, sugar, lemon zest, and salt.
Rub the cold butter into the dry mixture with your fingertips.
Add the egg yolks and make a coarse crumbly dough, without bringing it into one piece.
Spread the crumbs loosely in a greased pan.
Bake the sbrisolona for 35 minutes, until golden.
When completely cool, break into large pieces and serve.
💡 Tip: Not pressing the dough is the signature of sbrisolona; compacting it turns the crumbly texture into a hard tart base.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in large broken pieces with coffee, optional mascarpone, or fruit.
