Recipe's preparation

    Pastry

  1. Place flour, butter and sugar in TM bowl and mix for about 5-10 seconds on speed 6 until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

  2. Add the egg yolk and water and knead for 10-20 seconds on interval speed until dough starts to come together in beads. Add a little more water if necessary. 

  3. Turn the mixture onto a floured surface, knead slightly and press together to form a smooth, flat disc. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to rest. 

    4. Almond sponge filling

  4. Preheat oven to 170 degrees C. Grease 2 x 12-hole shallow patty pans.

  5. Grind almonds for 8-10 seconds on speed 7. Decant into a small bowl.

  6. Add butter and sugar to TM bowl and cream speed 4 for 1 minute until light in colour and fluffy in texture. Scrape sides. Add the egg and continue mixing on speed 4 to combine.

  7. Add the almond essence, SR flour and return the ground almonds to TM bowl. Mix until just combined for 5-10 seconds on speed 4. 

  8. Roll out the pastry to 2-3m thick on a clean surface lightly sprinkled with flour.. Cut 18 fluted rounds with a 7cm cutter. Line patty pans with the pastry rounds and prick base with a fork.

  9. Add a dollop (approx 1 tsp) apricot jam to the pastry rounds and top with approx. 2 tsp almond sponge filling.

  10. Flatten with the back of a spoon. The sponge will rise slightly, so do not fill to any higher than the edge of the pastry. Sprinkle with a few flasked almonds if you do not wish to ice the tarts.

  11. Place the tarts in a pre-heated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool, then ice with almond icing (below).

  12. Add butter and sugar to TM bowl and cream on speed 4 for 1 minute or until light in colour and fluffy in texture. Scrape sides.

    14. Almond icing

  14. Combine sieved icing sugar, milk and almond extract in a bowl and mix well until smooth. Spoon a little onto each tart. Decorate with a half a glace cherry or with goji berries. Allow to set at room temperature.

Tip

I used a few goji berries in place of the glace cherry, which of course is not very traditional, but adds a little burst of antioxidants tmrc_emoticons.) This recipe may look fussy, but it really is easy and so worth the effort if you are a lover of bakewell tarts. This is a tweaked version of my Nan's recipe and an old childhood favourite. I used Tenina's Dried apricot preserve but reduced the sugar to 200g and lemon juice to 80g.
