To prepare the dough, combine the 00 flour, 80g of Granulated sugar, Salt, and 3g of Lemon zest in a large bowl. Add the cold Unsalted butter cubes and rub them into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add the Egg yolks to the mixture and knead briefly until a cohesive dough forms. Do not overwork the dough. Wrap it in plastic film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

While the dough chills, prepare the almond filling. In a separate bowl, combine the Almond flour, 100g of Granulated sugar, 60g of Egg whites (from 2 eggs), 1.5g of Lemon zest, 1.5g of Orange zest, and Honey. Mix thoroughly until a firm, uniform paste is formed.
