Boterkoek means "butter cake" in Dutch, and all that that implies. A rich, buttery treat that is not really a cake, but is not quite a cookie either.

Instructions (7 steps)

01Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Line the bottom of a 9" tart pan or spring form pan with a parchment paper round.
02In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 10 oz all purpose flour, 8 oz superfine sugar and ¼ teaspoon table salt. Toss in 8 oz unsalted butter and use your fingers or the mixer paddle to work the butter into the flour until there are no large lumps of butter.
03Remove 1 tablespoon of the whisked egg and set it aside. Add the rest of the egg to the dough and mix just until it comes together.
04Press the dough into the prepared pan. Smooth until the top is level and flat.
05Brush the reserved egg onto the top of the dough. Use a fork to create a lattice pattern on top of the dough.
