• ½ cup (1 stick) plus 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and lemon zest.
4. With a pastry blender, two knives or your fingers, blend in ½ cup butter until crumbly.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cream. Add to flour mixture and mix just enough to incorporate; do not overmix.
