You Will Need (12 things)

  • 80 g Icing Sugar
  • Flaked Almonds
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract
  • 1 x free-range Egg(s) , beaten
  • 125 g Ground Almonds
  • 125 g Caster Sugar
  • 125 g Butter
  • 1 tbsp Raspberry Jam
  • 175 g Plain Flour
  • 75 g unsalted Butter
  • 2 tbsp Cold Water
  • 2 tsp cold Water

Steps (9 steps, 50 minutes)

  1. 1

    To make the pastry, measure the flour into a bowl and rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the water, mixing to form a soft dough.

  2. 2

    Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface and use to line a 20cm/8in flan tin. Leave in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6 (180C fan).

  4. 4

    Line the pastry case with foil and fill with baking beans. Bake blind for about 15 minutes, then remove the beans and foil and cook for a further five minutes to dry out the base.

  5. 5

    For the filing, spread the base of the flan generously with raspberry jam.

  6. 6

    Melt the butter in a pan, take off the heat and then stir in the sugar. Add ground almonds, egg and almond extract. Pour into the flan tin and sprinkle over the flaked almonds.

  7. 7

    Bake for about 35 minutes. If the almonds seem to be browning too quickly, cover the tart loosely with foil to prevent them burning.

  8. 8

    Meanwhile, sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Stir in cold water and transfer to a piping bag.

  9. 9

    Once you have removed the tart from the oven, pipe the icing over the top, giving an informal zig zag effect.
