Grind the butter with flour until a homogeneous butter crumb is obtained. Add vodka, egg yolk and try to collect everything in a lump, if necessary, add a little (!) ice water (I did without it). The dough is sent to the refrigerator for two hours.
Roll out the dough 2-3 mm thick and put it in a mold. Prick with a fork.
Cover the dough with parchment and pour in a “weighting agent” (peas, beans or special bones).
Bake with this load at a temperature of 200 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. Remove the paper along with the load.
Prepare the filling for the pie by mixing all the ingredients.
Pour the filling into the dough mold and bake at a temperature of 170 degrees, about 40-50 minutes. If necessary, the top of the cake can be covered with foil.
Prepare a crumb of praline.
Melt the sugar in a frying pan and wait until it turns amber. Add the melted sugar and chopped nuts, mix well. Pour the mixture onto a parchment or silicone mat. Allow to cool completely and set.
Grind in a food processor.
When serving, sprinkle a piece of cake with a crumb of praline.
