Raspberry Frangipane Tart

Ingredients

250 g pastry
250 g raspberries (approx.)
½ jar raspberry jam
150 g butter
150 g sugar
50 g plain flour
150 g ground almonds
3 large eggs, beaten
almond essence (a few drops)
3 tsp apricot jam (for glazing)

Method

  1. Preheat oven 200C.
  2. Roll out pastry and line a 30cm flan dish. Prick base and bake blind for 20min.
    (Works well in my 25 cm 1/2" tin with a little bit left for half a dozen jam tarts.) Allow to cool.
  3. Spread raspberry jam over base. Arrange about 2/3 of raspberries over base.
  4. Reduce oven heat to 180C.
  5. Make filling - Cream the butter and sugar together then mix in flour, almonds, eggs and almond essence. Beat well.
  6. Spread frangipane mixture over raspberries on base.
  7. Arrange the rest of raspberries over the frangipane and press in lightly.
  8. Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes until risen, golden and set.
  9. Mix apricot jam with a little boiling water and brush over tart.
Eat hot or cold.
