1 Mini bakewell tarts

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. 

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.
