This quick and delicious recipe can be adapted to make a larger tart, and topped with any fruit you like.
Ingredients
Makes 24 mini almond tartlets or 2 x 18cm tarts
110g butter
110g caster sugar
110g ground almond
Method
Preheat the oven to 180’C/160’Fan/350’F/Gas mark 4.
Place the butter in a bowl and beat until soft and light. Add in the sugar and the ground almonds and mix to combine.
Place generous teaspoonful blobs of the mixture in each ‘cup’ of a shallow bun tray (a mince pie tray), you should get 24 altogether so if it’s a 12 hole tray then cook it in 2 batches.
Or you could make 12 mini tartlets and 1 x 18cm tin.
Bake in the preheat oven for 8-10 minutes until a rich golden brown then take out of the oven and leave to sit for 3 minutes, then remove each little tartlet base and cool on a wire rack.
The larger tart will take 16-18 minutes to cook.
After removing from the oven, allow to sit for 3 minutes then turn out onto a plate and allow to cool before decorating.
Top with raspberries or sliced strawberries and whipped cream or whatever delicious fruit you have.
