Ingredients

  • Small check mark in a circle icon 1 x 320g Jus-Rol Shortcrust pastry sheet
  • Small check mark in a circle icon 170g unsalted butter, softened
  • Small check mark in a circle icon 170g caster sugar
  • Small check mark in a circle icon 170g ground almonds
  • Small check mark in a circle icon 4 large free range eggs
  • Small check mark in a circle icon 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Small check mark in a circle icon 4 tbsp raspberry jam
  • Small check mark in a circle icon 30g flaked almonds

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C (fan)/Gas 6
  2. Unroll the pastry to line a 23cm flan case. Place baking or greaseproof paper on top, fill with baking beans and bake for 12-15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 190C (170C fan assisted oven) Gas 5.
  3. Meanwhile combine the butter, sugar and almonds and then beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  4. Spread the base of the pastry case with jam and when the pastry is completely cool spread the almond mixture evenly over the jam and scatter over the flaked almonds.
  5. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, until the filling is golden brown and set in the middle. (If the filling appears to ‘wobble’, then return to oven for 5-10 minutes. If the top is getting too brown, lower the temperature by 10 degrees.
  6. Serve warm or cold, dusted with icing sugar.

Tips

  • Take the pastry out of the fridge and remove from the packaging approximately 10 minutes before you are ready to use it, as it will be easier to work with.
  • Once completely cool, the tart can be cut into slices put in an airtight container and frozen for up to a month.
  • For a fruity treat, scatter fresh raspberries over the jam before adding the almond filling.
