1.
Sift flour onto a work surface, mix with salt and sugar, then press a well in the center. Cut cold butter into small pieces and distribute around the well; add the egg, about 3 tbsp lukewarm water, and use a knife to cut through all ingredients until small dough crumbs form. Quickly knead with hands into a dough, shape into a ball, wrap in cling film, and chill for about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) fan‑forced. Drain apricots. Whisk quark with sugar, salt, cream, eggs, and lemon zest. Roll out dough thinly between two sheets of parchment paper. Butter a pan, line with dough, shaping an edge and trimming it straight.
