Bakewell Tart

A firm favourite of my 4 year old after having it at the local garden center.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Sieve the flour and icing sugar into a bowl. Rub in the butter. Add the egg yolk and 2 tsp water and mix to a firm dough. Roll out onto a lightly floured board and use to line a deep 23cm loose-based, fluted tart tin. Chill for 15 mins.

Heat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Bake the pastry case ‘blind’ for 15 mins. Remove the paper and baking beans and cook for a further 10 mins until the pastry is dry and a light golden colour. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

For the filling, beat together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the ground almonds and almond extract. Spread the jam over the base of the pastry case. Spread the almond filling evenly on top, then sprinkle over the flaked almonds.

Bake for 35–40 mins until the frangipane filling is firm and golden brown on top (see Tips, below). Allow to cool slightly and serve while just warm or cool completely in the tin. Carefully remove from the tin and dust with icing sugar just before serving, perhaps with cream or custard, if you like.

My family loves jam tarts, but my son is mad for lemon meringue pie so tried a combination that because of the size doesn't feel too indulgent and is perfect for sharing after a meal or with a cup of coffee. almu21 -

I wanted to make a basic tart crust.If you use butter freshly taken out of the fridge you can slightly microwave it, to warm, but do not melt it.If you stick to the rule of leaving the butter and egg at room temperature and chilling the dough to rest in the fridge as needed, you will never fail.

Strawberry Amandine Tart Strawberry Amandine Tart
I made this by adapting a Chocolate Amandine recipe I like. Strawberries and almonds combine so well.The chilling time is so that the tart doesn't expand while baking.If you use powdered sugar for the cookie crust, it will be crispy. You can also grind some granulated sugar up with an electric mixer If you add the granulated sugar as-is, it will be difficult to incorporate smoothly into the dough. If you use caster sugar, it will be moist. Recipe by narimi mama cookpad.japan -

Raspberry Almond Tart “Torta della Santa Maria” Raspberry Almond Tart “Torta della Santa Maria”
Don’t ask me why, but I have gotten it into my head that I should call this Torta della Santa Maria (St. Mary’s Cake). It’s my own creation, and I’m not Italian and I don’t have any clue as to what St. Mary would have to do with it. And I even think of it as more of a pie than a cake! But, Torta della Santa Maria it will be.What’s fun about this recipe is that you take an off the shelf mix (good in its own right!) and make it something extraordinary both in appearance and in taste. I think it is an elegant combination of the tastes of raspberries, almonds and orange.At a church breakfast one morning someone told me that she thought my tart had come from a bakery and that it was the best thing she had ever eaten. Seriously. I was truly humbled. Please try it and let me know how yours turns out Adam Janowski -

Crunchy Caramel Apple Tart Crunchy Caramel Apple Tart
I love tarts! I had a lot of apples that I needed to eat, so I thought I'd make a tart with them!Moist apples are good, but I also wanted that crispy caramel texture. It's a very tasty match of flavors.The crust recipe here will give you more than you need for this tart, so you can freeze the leftovers for your next dessert. If you add rum, add it during Step 9.If you add the caramel topping it will become crispy and crunchy, but you can leave it out if you like.As time passes and the tart reaches room temperature, the caramel will begin to soften. For 1 tart pan. Recipe by marine cookpad.japan -
