SWEET & TREATS

Raspberry & Frangipane Tarts

I made these in a small tin – but you could choose to make one large tart (about 22cm). A word of warning, this pastry is very short & it is perfectly normal to have to patch the dough so be patient and have fun with it because the result is so delicious!!!!

FOR THE DOUGH

  • 150 g Spelt
  • 1/4 Tsp. Yeast
  • 75 g Ground almonds
  • 1 Egg
  • 37 g Light brown muscovado
  • Sugar
  • 50 g Butter

FOR THE FILLING

  • 100 g Brown unrefined sugar
  • 100 g Butter softened and cut into cubes
  • 100 g Ground almonds
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Tsp. Vanilla extract
  • 150 g Raspberries
  • 75 g Roasted almond flakes
  • Unrefined icing sugar for serving

Method

1

Preheat your oven to 150°C/302°F.

2

First make your dough. In a mixer bowl fitted with a hook, mix flour, yeast and ground almonds. Add the butter cut in small dices, mix well to incorporate the butter into the flour.

3

Form a well in the bowl and pour in the eggs previously beaten mix until a ball starts to form. As this is a really short dough it will crumble a lot, but all the better when cooked.

4

Put in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave to rest in the fridge whilst you are making the filling.

5

Now that your dough is resting make your filling. In an electric mixer bowl, mix together sugar, ground almonds and butter until you get a smooth paste. Add 2 eggs and vanilla extract and carry on mixing until completely incorporated.

6

Roll your dough 1/2 cm thick and divide into moulds previously greased with butter. Prick with a fork and blind bake for 8 minutes. Leave to cool for 20 minutes.

7

After this time, fill the pastry cases with the filling mixture, divide the raspberries in the mould and  sprinkle with the flaked almonds.

Cook for a further 10-12 minutes.

8

Serve cold with a dusting of unrefined icing sugar.

Enjoy… Bon appetit!  ♥♥♥
