📋 Bakewell tart
📝 Ingredients
- •175g/6oz plain flour
- •75g/2½oz chilled butter
- •2-3 tbsp cold water
- •1 tbsp raspberry jam
- •125g/4½oz butter
- •125g/4½oz caster sugar
- •125g/4½oz ground almonds
- •1 free-range egg, beaten
- •½ tsp almond extract
- •50g/1¾oz flaked almonds
👨🍳 Instructions
- 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
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
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6 (180C fan).
- 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
For the filing, spread the base of the flan generously with raspberry jam.
- 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
Bake for about 35 minutes. If the almonds seem to be browning too quickly, cover the tart loosely with foil to prevent them burning.
