Ingredients
  

  • 1 Egg
  • 55 g Butter
  • 55 g Caster Sugar
  • 55 g Ground Almonds

Pastry

  • 100 g SR Flour
  • 50 g Butter

  • 1 Jar Jam Any Red Berry Jam

Instructions
 

Pastry

  • Rub butter into flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs and add enough cold water to bind
  • Roll out pastry, cut into rounds and place in greased tart tray
  • Bake in oven gas 4 (180°) for about 10 mins until pastry has browned

Filling

  • Cream butter and sugar together until soft and pale in colour. Make sure that butter is soft and at room temperature to make mixing easier
  • Add ground almonds and egg and mix well
  • Place approx 1 tsp of jam into each baked pastry case
  • Place heaped tsp of filling on top of jam. No need to spread as the mix will spread by itself in the oven
  • Put in oven, gas mark 3 (160 °) and bake for approx 15 mins until browned

Notes

Try making your own jam for your tarts.
