Feta and Scallion Tart

Ingredients

• 3 teaspoons vodka
• 2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
• 1 cup water
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• Kosher salt
• 12 ounces crumbled feta
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

1. Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat it to 500 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the vodka, 2 tablespoons olive oil, water, and egg, then whisk until the mixture looks smooth and uniform. In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk the liquid mixture into the flour mixture until you have a batter, taking care to smooth out any lumps.
2. Pour the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil onto a rimmed baking sheet, then use your fingertips or a paper towel to coat the surface. Add the batter to the pan, scatter the feta and scallions over the top, and finish by dotting it with butter.
3. Bake until the crust is crisp and golden and the feta has started to brown, about 25 minutes. Rest the tart for 5 minutes, then slice.
