Heat oven to 350 degrees. To make crust, place almonds in bowl of food
processor fitted with steel blade. Process until finely chopped. Add flour
and sugar; pulse to blend. Add butter and extract. Process until thoroughly
blended. Gradually add up to 2 tablespoons ice water through feed tube,
just until mixture comes together. Gather dough into a ball and press
evenly onto bottom and sides of 9- or 9 1/2-inch tart pan with removable
bottom. Bake in center of oven about 25 minutes until set and lightly
